Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu on Monday took the ugly fight over the deportation of Turkish alleged terror suspect Harun Aydin to Deputy President William Ruto’s doorstep.

In a post on Facebook, Ngilu blasted Ruto for publicly stating a different position from that issued by the government when deporting Aydin for allegedly being a terrorism financier.

“Ala! Kwani kuna serikali ngapi huku Kenya? Bw’ DP William Samoei Ruto, which GoK are you apologizing on behalf?” Ngilu asked in the post.

She accused the DP, who is still in office through a Jubilee Party ticket and is championing the interests of UDA party, of causing confusion in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government.

Ngilu was responding directly to a post by Ruto that faulted the deportation of Aydin, who was arrested on Saturday immediately on landing at Wilson Airport in Nairobi from Uganda.

While the DP defended the Turk claiming he helped him to get Sh15 billion from Equity Bank to invest in a vaccines plant in Uganda, his lieutenants claim he was a local investor in fruits.
