Baringo senator and 2022 presidential candidate Gideon Moi has paid deputy president a courtesy call at his Karen residence.
The two have been enemies for long and they haven’t been in talk.
Initially, it appeared harmless; just another political pilgrimage to the retired president’s home. But with time, it got more calculative, complete with press releases and photo ops, signaling that the Moi family will play a key role in the Uhuru succession politics.
“Senator Moi has been humiliating the Deputy President. We all know Mr Ruto is our leader and candidate for the 2022 elections. Senator Moi’s mission is to divide the Kalenjin vote, but votes do not rest in Kabarak, but with the people,” Mr Peter Cheruiyot, the Nakuru County Jubilee Party secretary-general was once quoted saying.
The source has hinted that the Kalenjin elders played the role of bringing them together after being accused of fueling their difference.
“Kalenjin elders just called them for a meeting and its good that Gideon honoured the invitation,”he said.
