In Summary

  • Minister drops his earlier hardline stand and backs its implementation

The legislator said if the names of party bigwigs are in the Waki report, the ODM would be dead.

Speaking at a public meeting in East Wanga division, Mumias District, Mr Washiali said the matter was grave because those mentioned would be required to resign as recommended by the Waki report.

    Instead of these people bickering and defending themselves on the Waki report, why cant they concentrate on rehabilitation of the Kenyan prisons, some big wigs might be in there for a long long time.

    Persons in Waki Committee were highly educated and knowlegeable and intelligent. You [Ruto]cant just rubbish their work.People were butchered in your own constituency and many days passed and u did not go to say "pole" at all meaning you cared little.Go and clear yourself in Hague incase yr name is in the ENVELOP.
