The Wiper & Uthamaki revolt against Ruto

The Woes of the Deputy President William Ruto are just uncountable.

But what has grown to be part of his job is how he well crafts his responses.

But what is the revolt?

A no-holds-barred political duel is looming ahead of 2022 after a group of Mt Kenya MPs was joined by Wiper, Orange Democratic Movement and Kanu leaders in a campaign against Deputy President William Ruto.

The show of solidarity is a reminiscent of the 2002 alliance that swept Mr Mwai Kibaki to power, analysts say.

While the rallying call in 2002 was constitutional reform, the one shaping for 2022 appears to be corruption and the handshake between President Kenyatta and Mr Raila Odinga.

The alliance was unveiled at Gatanga Catholic Church in Murang’a on Sunday where more than 20 lawmakers were hosted by area MP Nduati Ngugi.

The central Kenya group opposed to Dr Ruto was initially called Mt Kenya and Diaspora Leaders Forum.

The leaders said they would criss-cross the country and mount pressure on the government to prosecute anyone linked to corruption.

MPs at the Gatanga event were Homa Bay Woman Rep Gladys Wanga, Mr TJ Kajwang (Ruaraka), Mr Caleb Amisi (Saboti), Mr Robert Mbui (Kathiani) and Mr James Nyikal (Seme).
