“The Jubilee Party is United and there are no wrangles whatsover in the Party,” This is the message a number of leaders affiliated to the Jubilee spread out there to all Kenyans when rumours of a fall-out within the Party filled the air.
Fast-foward to 2019, the Jubilee marriage is on the rocks with a divorce seemingly looming after episodes of mistrust.
DP William Ruto, a man so focused on becoming Kenya’s head of state come 2022 with help from his allies have recently launched an onslaught on Jubilee and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
They believe that Uhuru is up to no good with Ruto and that it is just a matter of time before the President finally unleashes his full wrath on Ruto.
Kalenjin Leaders have been opposed to President Kenyatta’s latest fight on corruption with many viewing it as a mechanism by Uhuru to punish Ruto and his Loyalists.
For the first time, Ruto and his allies are no longer pretending that the political truce between Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga is significant.
According to Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, the handshake is the worst Political fraud ever witnessed in this country as it is “being used as a scheme to fight one individual, together with the charade called the fight against corruption. It’s a sham,”
Meanwhile, According to Kimani Ngunjiri, a strong defender of President Kenyatta, it’s no longer a secret that Ruto is fighting Uhuru.
“The people undermining the DCI, who is an appointee of the President, the people who are attacking the DPP are allies of the Deputy President … if you ask me, the Deputy President is actually fighting the President. There is no other way you can explain it,” he said at the weekend.
