US-Based Kenyan Pastor Sues Uhuru Kenyatta And William Ruto

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Africa Politics July 12, 2022

Donald Kisaka Mwawasi, a Kenyan pastor based in the US has filed a petition to the high court suing Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto.

The petition seeks the court to appoint a mediator to settle the dispute between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy President William Ruto.

The pastor explains in the documents together with former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko, they tried to broker a truce between the two but all in vain.

Sonko is also enjoined in the petition seeking to resolve the dispute between the two leaders. This is before the August 9 polls.

Mike said that the court is capable of playing a big role in bridging the gap between the two leaders. He gave an example of what happened in Gambia.

Through their lawyer, George Khaminwa, the petitioners argued that the matter needed to be settled with urgency citing the upcoming elections.

“The National Cohesion and Integration Commission, a State body mandated to promote national unity. It previously warned that continuing with the ‘hustler vs dynasties’ line risked deepening class divisions. It can plunge the country into chaos. This is dangerous for the prevailing peace and tranquillity in the country and cannot be taken lightly,” Khaminwa stated.

Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto have previously had public confrontations. The president accused his deputy of ignoring his duties as Vice President and focusing on his campaigns.

Ruto countered the president’s accusations with his own. He said that President Uhuru just holds a grudge against him with no reasonable cause.

While appearing at a Town Hall meeting last Thursday on KTN News, they claimed that the President was unresponsive to mediation talks initiated by the church.

“Bishops talked to me, they talked to the president. When they came back to me, I told them I want to have a chat with my boss, but he refused. He flatly refused. He denied the bishop a chance for me to have a talk with him. Ask ACK bishop Ole Sapit,” he stated.
