President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto shared a working lunch at the DP’s Harambee House Annex office during which its reported the two leaders discussed matters related to the Government‘s development agenda.
The meeting had earlier been met with lots of wild speculation as it was unexpected by many with no clue why it had been arranged prior.
“It reminds me of the last supper before Judas betrayed Jesus”,some have stated.
A number wished that corruption was among the agenda of Uhuru and Ruto’s discussion.
With regard to corruption, President Kenyatta has repeatedly said people implicated in any cases will carry their own crosses.
Via Twitter this week, the President wrote, “If you are corrupt, we will fight you. You can be my brother or my sister or my closest political ally, but if you are corrupt we will fight you. I won’t be clouded by ethnicity or status in my quest to leave behind a united nation; and I will continue championing for Kenya’s unity.”
Dr Ruto has said time and again that he has never engaged in the vice and that he backs the war. But he also believes that he is the target of the intensified fight against corruption and says those soiling his name over corruption scandals are doing it to scuttle his bid to succeed his boss.
Others brought up William Ruto’s 2022 presidential elections stand claiming anxiety brought by the alleged growing difference between the two big fish.
