Dennis Itumbi Defends DP Ruto’s KSh100 Million Jet

The most controversial story right now is the revelation that Deputy President William Ruto’s office has hired a luxury jet for his travels across the continent in a deal which will cost taxpayers up to $300,000 (Sh25.14 million) every three months thereby making the payments across the year for the use of the jet amount to $1.2 million (Sh100.56 million).

This news irked a section of the masses who took to the social media to express their resentment. This did not go down well with blogger/journalist Dennis Itumbi. Itumbi, a Jubilee strongman, sought to put the matter to rest by giving his logic, this way;

Let’s face it _ Ruto’s predecessors used sh20m a trip – to one capital, on this one Deputy President William Ruto has done four capitals with a less budget…Facts don’t change coz we disagree with them…

Let’s push it and do the Math….Ruto’s Predecessors 20m for a jet for one trip whose results were failed negotiations for Ivory Coast – Deputy President Ruto on his part 18.5m for four trips where tens of billateral agreements have been signed -in most basic of calculations thats 4.6m per capital….challenge the facts …no need for insults

Finally…It cost Ruto 4.6m per capital…..his predecessor’s spent 20m for one capital…if that’s not saving …I don’t know what is……I rest on this matter

The Government has since refuted the claims. See that HERE.
