Kericho senator Aaron Cheruiyot has warned retired President Uhuru Kenyatta against involving himself in Raila Odinga's opposition politics.

Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot has warned former President Uhuru Kenyatta against involving himself in opposition politics. 

Speaking on Saturday during the thanksgiving service of Mogotio Member of Parliament Reuben Kiborek in Baringo County, Cheruiyot stated that they would withdraw Uhuru’s retirement perks if he continues to support Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga.

“Leo Uhuru amejitokeza wazi wazi amesema ati party leader wake ni Raila Odinga, nimemuangalia hadi nikamuhurumia, yaani from a president to a follower of a rebel leader, shame on you.  How can it be that when you won elections other people supported you but when William Ruto wins elections, you join those that are castigating his government and saying they do not recognise him?

“In fact ile benefits ambayo wanapatia yeye as a retired Head of State akiendelea na hii mambo ya resistance there is no way we can give retirement benefits to a leader of a resistant movement,” the Kericho Senator stated.

He went on to say that, the Kenya Kwanza government should continue its onslaught on the Kenyatta family over tax evasion.

“Nakubaliana na ile maneno Chepsongol alisema, finya hao watu kabisa, na sio kwa ushuru peke yake, hata ile vitu ya wananchi walichukua lazima warudishe. Wacha kulia kwa ushuru pekee my friend tunataka kukujia ile vitu ya wananchi ulichukua mpaka ile ilipatikana nchi zingine inaitwa Pandora,” Cheruiyot added.
