Deputy President Wiliam Ruto’s relationship with Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i is of lately hitting the rock.
This is now clear after the CS decided to cancel his trip scheduled for Kisii and Nyamira this Friday, which coincided with that of DP Ruto.
According to sources, an itinerary released earlier on indicated that Dr Matiang’i was due to commission police headquarters in Keroka before officially launching newly built Immigration offices in Kisii.
But in a change of twist, his aide Brian Mamboleo, said the CS had cancelled the trip, opting to open County Commissioner of Narok offices on Friday.
“CS will be opening County Commissioner offices in Narok on Friday. He will also be attending Madaraka Day celebrations at the same county on Saturday,” said Mamboleo in a phone call.
Asked why the CS cancelled Gusii trip, Mamboleo was quick to dismiss speculations that it’s because it coincided with the visit of the DP.
A fortnight ago, a section of MPs allied to Dr Ruto, had threatened to impeach the powerful minister over fake golf scandal, a move that backlashed.
Dr Ruto will tour West Mugirango where he will commission NG-CDF offices at Nyamaiya before attending a fundraiser at Nyamira Catholic. Later, he will visit Matiang’i’s backyard in Borabu.
