The Mt. Kenya region has declared that they will support DP William Ruto’s 2022 State House bid. This will quash rumors from some of the leaders in the region who have been fighting Ruto through the Kieleweke team.

“When the time comes, we must travel along the journey the same way we travelled before. Our gospel must be the same as before. We must be aware of who is for our interests,” Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri said during a church service in Dagoretti on Sunday.

Kiunjuri is one of President Uhuru’s kitchen cabinet and is considered one of the most likely people to be the Mt. Kenya kingpin.

There has been a lot of questions on whether the Mt. Kenya region will support Ruto with leaders like David Murathe making noise on the same.

But now Kiunjuri has said that the only way to repay Ruto’s support is supporting him.

“Good is paid by good. There is no way a friend will rescue you from a leopard and then let that friend be eaten by the same leopard. The journey is long and a leopard is hunted by a man and his in-law,” said the minister.

Murathe and Nyeri MP Ngunjiri Wambugu are viewed as the politicians decampaigning Ruto in Mt. Kenya.

But Kiambu MP Ferdinand Waititu, Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungwa and Nakuru Women Rep Susan Kihika are hell bent on ensuring Ruto becomes President.

“When a grass-thatched hut catches fire, it usually spreads it to a similar thatched hut.

The succession politics have split the region in the middle and it is feared that this is one of the reasons President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga postponed their Mt. Kenya tour.

Analysts view the Raila and Uhuru handshake as a way to tame Ruto.
