But on Wednesday, he said unlike President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto in past instances, Mr Kingi took the fight to the suspects’ doorstep and did not resort to a blame game. “Governor Kingi and his government have not sought to spread the blame and pass the buck,” Mr Odinga said in a 1,525-word statement in praise of the coastal county boss. “The governor and his team have not lamented about lack of powers to fight corruption and theft,” said Mr Odinga. This, he said, was an exemplary show that could not be said of President Kenyatta and his deputy Ruto. “We are aware of double payments that have been done to some companies and Mr Kingi knows this,” said Mr Mung’aro, who has vowed to unseat the governor in next year’s General Election.
