Uhuru: I am going to expose the real culprits

By Athman AmranDeputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta says he now has the opportunity of giving evidence against the real perpetrators of post-election violence.
"We know who planned the violence," Uhuru said.
He argued that it was not fair that those who called for mass action are going scot-free, while those who called for peace have been summoned to appear at The Hague for alleged crimes against humanity.
"We believe in the law. We will go to The Hague. We do not fear. We will speak the truth," Uhuru said, at the launch of Mt Kenya Matatu Owners Association at Thika Stadium on Saturday.
MPs who attended the function include William Kabogo, Johnstone Muthama, Ferdinand Waititu, Mithika Linturi, Jeremiah Kioni, Mohamed Bahari, Jamleck Kamau, Mwangi Kiunjuri, John Mututho, Joseph Gitari, Ephraim Maina, Victor Munyaka and Adan Duale (ODM).
Uhuru and the MPs called for the unity of leaders in Central Province.
The Deputy PM called on Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth and Gichugu MP Martha Karua to work with him.
"I have no problem working with Peter Kenneth and Martha Karua," Uhuru said.
He, however, said it was Kenneth and Karua’s democratic right to seek for the presidency, but added that it would be better if they sat down together and support whom the people choose to lead them.
"What we do not want is for people to divide us," Uhuru said, arguing that it is when Central Province people work together that they are branded as tribalists.
Before arriving at Thika Uhuru with an entourage of more than 100 cars, they made stopovers at Ngara, Githurai, and Ruiru. At Githurai and Ruiru huge crowds welcomed Uhuru carrying placards of Uhuru’s 2002 presidential campaigns.
Elsewhere, forty professionals from South Rift have faulted Uhuru for insisting that he will not step aside over ICC summonses saying he should step aside.
"He should stop chest thumping and know that Kenyans are tired with politicians who think they can lord over them," said Mr Joseph Sonkori, the chairman of the group.
