Ruto battles claims of defying President Kenyatta

Speculations came flying after Deputy President William Ruto skipped a meeting at Kakamega, and stayed in Nairobi instead.

In the confusion that followed, Sports Cabinet Secretary Amb Amina Mohammed quickly swung into action to stand in for the DP as the Chief guest.

For the better part of Tuesday morning, Kenyans were speculating DP Ruto’s move as that of rebellion, given their suspected frosty relationship amid intensified war on graft.

But speaking on phone, an insider in the DP’s communication team cleared the air by informing our news desk that Ruto had been tied up in a meeting with the Cuban Vice president.

“DP William Ruto with the vice president of the council of state and Ministers of the Republic of Cuba, Mrs. Ines Maria Chapman Waugh will address the press at the DPs Karen office after bilateral talks,” Ruto’s aide indicated.

While speaking in Kakamega, Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa also confirmed that the DP was held up and had sent them (Amina and himself) to represent him.
