Kenyans are eagerly waiting to see today if Deputy president Dr William Ruto finds space in the famous March 2018 handshake between President Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto and Opposition leader Raila Odinga are expected to visit Kisii County on Wednesday to launch health projects.
It is the first time for the trio to attend go on a development tour together since the disputed 2017 general elections.
Ruto and Raila are famously known to challenge each other in the podium with one raising an issue and the other replying right in the same event.
For instance, during Mashujaa Day in Kakamega, Ruto and Raila’s political ‘canaan’ rant took center stage and leaving many in stitches.
Raila first amused the crowd saying,“Tulikuwa tunapeleka watu ‘Canaan’, tulipofika mto Jordan, tukakutana na mamba… ndio tuongee na wewe, tukasema tujenge daraja kuvuka mto Jordan kuingia Caanan. Na tunaingia, pamoja, wanaNasa na WanaJubilee.”
Ruto the took the podium to challenge Odinga.
Vile tulifundishwa huko kwa Sunday School, kuhusu safari ya Canaan, hutukuambiwa kulikuwa na mamba, lakini sasa tumejua kumbe kulikuwa na mamba,” Ruto said sending everybody into a rapturous laughter.
“Lakini unajua, Mheshimiwa Prime Minister angekua mwalimu mzuri sana wa Sunday school, kwa sababu ndio angetufundisha kipengele hiyo,” the DP continued.
To the surprise of many, president Kenyatta burst into laughter while the two were bantering each other.
