Mama Ngina Kenyatta responds to Ruto and his allies

Former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta replied to President William Ruto and his allies over allegations that her family have been tax cheats for the period her son Uhuru Kenyatta was the president.

In the video footage making rounds on social media, Mama Ngina, appeared appalled by reports claiming that her family at one point stopped paying taxes.

The ex-presidents mother, who was addressing a church congregation in Lamu, expressed her disappointment in the manner in which her family name was soiled over the tax issue.

The former first lady said that due process of the law should be followed in addressing the matter rather than soiling people’s names.

“There is no need of spoiling my name and that of others so that you can be seen to be working. Let those accused be taken to court and pay what he or she is supposed to pay” she said.

She went on to dare the state to auction her properties in the event she is found to have failed to pay her taxes.

Mama Ngina said the attacks meted out on her family are unfair and false further challenging the state to come clean on the issue instead of politicking.

“Na Kama ni mimi, ata kama sijalipa kwa mwaka moja, mali ichukuliwe ilipe tax kwa sababu ni lazima. Hakuna haja ya kufanya kazi ya kisiasa ya hivi na kule. Na Si kweli kwamba sijalipa tax. Na watu wanajua hawasemi ukweli ,” she added
