Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has dismissed President William Ruto’s recent claims that his administration is being targeted by a specific community, describing the remarks as unbecoming of a Head of State.

President  Ruto had claimed that persistent criticism of his government is ethnically motivated, contrasting his treatment with that of his predecessors, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta, whom he said were not subjected to similar “cruel treatment.”
