Martha Karua reacts after Biden lauded Ruto at UN assembly

 

Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua has responded after US President Joe Biden thanked President William Ruto for his willingness to lead the United Nations Security Mission in Haiti.

In her response to the same, Karua referred to Ruto and Biden as a father and his son.

"Big daddy and his boy," she said in a tweet on Wednesday.

This comes at the backdrop of the Opposition outfit's criticism of the US, accusing it of meddling with Kenya's political affairs.

Azimio leader Raila Odinga also called out US Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman after she said that last year's election was the most credible Kenya has ever held.

Karua was Raila's running mate in last year's presidential polls.

Biden had made the remarks on Ruto while speaking at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, where he underscored the importance of nations working together to tackle challenges.

"I thank President Ruto of Kenya. I thank him for his willingness to serve as lead nation of UN's Security Support Mission," he said.

Biden called on the security council to authorise the security mission immediately saying the people of Haiti cannot wait much longer.

This comes after Kenya agreed to deploy 1,000 police officers to Haiti to help restore normalcy and combat the gang violence that has wrecked the Caribbean nation.

Kenya will lead an international police force aimed at the mission to begin probably in a month.

From January 1 until August 15, more than 2,400 people in Haiti were reported killed, more than 950 kidnapped and another 902 injured, according to the most recent U.N. statistics.

The plan to send a security force to Haiti will undergo voting at the UN Security Council.    BY THE STAR
