For a long time, Narok and ODM Senator Ledama Ole Kina
The vocal senator picked the cold relationship with Ruto’s side when he came out to fully support Mau evictions a move that was heavily opposed by some of Ruto’s allies including Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and former NASA Principal Isaac Ruto.
But Narok Senator now seems to be loosening his staunch opposition on Dp Ruto’s presidency.
The ODM Senator in an interview with Citizen TV on Monday further said he was unhappy with the turn of events, given DP Ruto’s critics were not aware they could easily make him president.
Ledama observed that William Ruto could easily ascend to power the same way former President Daniel Moi did.
“I am a very disappointed Kenyan because we are shifting the goal post. DP Ruto is the second most fought Deputy President in Kenya; the first one was retired President Daniel Moi where he was attacked heavily then he ended up becoming president,” stated Ledama.
His remarks come at a time government has clipped the security detail of Members of Parliament mostly from the Mt Kenya region for what’s perceived as a measure to tame their support for DP Ruto.
There are claims that the ruling Jubilee party has split into factions with some of its leaders backing DP Ruto’s 2022 bid while a number of them have ruled out any chances of him succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta.
After the death of Kenya’s first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Moi faced a tough opposition with leaders from Kenyatta’s backyard being against him taking over power as had been provided for in the constitution.
