The battle between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto has so far been manifested in every way.
Reports claim that Ruto staged a heated confrontation with the Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho at the JKIA.
Sources claim that Kibicho withdrew security from Ruto’s functions and Uhuru is behind that.
According controversial blogger Robert Alai , Ruto has been ordered to appear at the Nairobi State House. Alai claims that the DP was set to tour Kakamega county today (Friday) but has been summoned for an urgent meeting.
“Seems like the DP’s fight with PS Karanja Kibicho is bringing problems in government. DP Ruto just been called for an urgent State House meeting from Kakamega where he was going,” Alai tweeted, Friday morning.

He claims that the confrontation which happened at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) seems to have irked some powerful persons within the government.
According to the People Daily, the altercation emerged after Ruto spotted Kibicho in a delegation waiting to receive President Uhuru Kenyatta at the airport.

The two, according to the report, gave each other a 15-minute dressing down as other top state officials, among them Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) boss Samson Mwathethe watched.
The incident, the People Daily reports had everything to do with Kibicho’s alleged involvement in the absence of local security officers during Ruto’s functions lately.
Also present was Kieni MP Kanini Mega who is said to have walked away when the argument ensued.
