The war between opposition leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto has taken so many twists from corruption to by-elections and now it’s back to the handshake.
A political family feud has taken rise a day after DP Ruto’s highly publicized Citizen TVinterview on Tuesday, during which he questioned Raila Odinga’s handshake motives.
Ruto alleged that Mr. Odinga approached him four times after the 2017 elections before the opposition leader went ahead to engage President Uhuru Kenyatta in what would culminate in a much-publicized handshake at the steps of Harambee House.
“I knew that the narrative was about to try and say that I was being shortchanged here and there, which to me is a fake thing,” divulged Ruto.
Raila Jnr, on his part, through his tweet, rubbished the DP’s claims adding that it was, in fact, Ruto who went to them with an offer of posh government jobs.
KOT has however refused to believe Raila Junior blaming it on his timing of revelations arousing malice suspicions in revenging his fathers hard hit by DP Ruto.
