President William Samoe Ruto is facing resistance from hustlers over recently released fuel price.
In a statement that has caused an online aproar, Denise Itumbi, a UDA blogger, accuses the opposition boss of being part of the cartels that benefited from oil marketing.
His accusations came hours after a statement from opposition chief Raila Amolo Odinga over high cost of living brought about by increase in fuel price.
In his remarks, Itumbi says the former PM Raila Odinga family has an interest in the oil business.
“During the Handshake period, they kicked out a key ally from one of the oil companies, and now they are fully in control.
“The G to G deal gave Kenya a great deal, but denied the Odinga’s massive profit they used to bag in the Open Tender System.” Said Itumbi on X post.
Itumbi details that “before the Press Conference, an attempt was made to blackmail the Government.
“The ministry was confident and sure the deal was above board, stood its ground. Did the company put in a bid and lost? Is there some money the company wants from GOK?”
Itumbi promised to give a “A full HNIB to” reports soon.
However, Itumbi’s remarks attracted various reactions from social media while others castigating him.
“If the open tender bidding system meant that the fuel was cheap, why not revert to it but ensure that Raila does not get the tender as the Govt subjects the importation to competitive bidding? Kenyans wud rather have the previous process than the current one.” One social media user posted.
Former Nandi hill MP Hon Alfred Keter noted that Kenyans are wiser now than they were in previous years.
Alfred Keter: “I have read the comments on your tweet and I am shocked at the level of how Kenyans don’t give a damn about Kenya Kwisha. @OleItumbi please inform your boss that the propaganda has flopped and that the hustler nation is more wiser than he thinks #RevelutionIsInTheMaking.”
