Kenya: CORD leader Raila Odinga Friday slammed government efforts to shift public attention from Deputy President William Ruto, who is embroiled in a referral hospital scandal where the cost of the project was inflated by Sh11 billion.

Speaking at Panafric Hotel, Nairobi, Raila said the DP needed not defend himself on Twitter. While he was careful not to pass guilt, he censured the Jubilee administration for double-speak in the war against graft.
