Interior PS Karanja Kibicho has denied involvement in the blocking of Deputy President William Ruto from traveling to Uganda on Monday.
Speaking on Wednesday, Kibicho made it clear that his was office was not behind the incident that saw Ruto get stranded at Wilson Airport for five hours before canceling the trip.
He indicated that the deputy president may have been barred from flying to Uganda for presenting inadequate documents to immigration officers at the airport.
“I’ll say this, before you travel, you need to have a Visa, a ticket, a COVID-19 free certificate, and if you’re a civil servant, you need to have a letter of clearance from the Head of Public Service. If he actually had all those, I would be surprised that he was stopped,” said Kibicho.
But in a radio interview on Wednesday, Ruto asserted that does not need any State clearance to make a private trip abroad. Ruto argued that he has been making such personal visits to various countries since 2013 without being asked for clearance.
Responding to this, PS Kibicho said, “I don’t know whether he (Ruto) has been having them (documents) because I have not been checking. We’re not the ones who actually clear him, but if he passes through an immigration officer, they will demand that letter. If he ever traveled without them, the immigration officer failed, and you can’t accuse another one who has chosen not to fail, but those are facts I don’t have.”
Ruto needed to be blocked…
Ruto needed to be blocked from these secretive trips he has been taking to seek fir war weapons from Museveni and Zanzibar!
Ruto is a totally failed DP. And now he is engaged in sympathy seeking campaigns within the country and to the rouge African governments – why is Museveni, a known dictator and crook, holding private meetings with Ruto? What are they talking about that Kenyans do not need to know? Ruto, stop being a little kid!!
We as Kenyans must ask these questions and also let Ruto know that he has pushed the envelop to the limit!
He is talking about private business with Museveni and other bad characters – terrorists – right? But Ruto is using government vehicles and government provided security guards while he is on these so called private trips!
Come on Ruto! You are up to something sinister and you know it! Stop selling our country short! The Moi days of road side secretive decisions are over! You used to be part of those silly decisions but we have moved on!
Kenyans are not as stupid as you hold them to be!
The DP is scheming for some…
The DP is scheming for some sympathy to the fools who gets easily deceived by cheap politics! Ruto is playing a victim here while he has been victimizing Kenyans foe a long time!
Kibicho should not apologize about Ruto getting blocked while he is going on secret trips to sell out Kenya!
These people behave like…
These people behave like small children.
We all know both Uhuru and Ruto belong in jail.
Everything else is just background noise.
