A plight of the people feud managed to turn two close political allies into worst enemies during the period leading to the spill of many untold stories of the other being thrown o the public in anger.
The rift between the Deputy President William Ruto and Cherengani MP Joshua Kutuny heightened when farmers were crying over maize price.
Asked what caused the perceived bad-blood between him and Ruto in an exclusive interview with KTN’s Point Blank, Kutuny was cagey, only saying that there was nothing personal in their differences.
He said by pointing out that Rift Valley residents look upto the DP for leadership and they expect him to address their problems such as the poor maize prices, he was only doing his job.
“The DP has never talked about the plight of maize farmers. He cannot escape blame since he holds the position at the behest of the people and he even sits in Cabinet. He should work with the leadership to come up with solutions on problems afflicting our people,” he said.
“Ruto has never convened a single meeting to address the issues affecting his own people. What I am only doing is putting him on toes and asking him to be sensitive to the predicament affecting the country.”
