Ruto slams desperate Standard: Plot to impeach Uhuru unearthed: Public Varsities set for major reforms

Good Morning!

It is yet another Monday morning, the last in July, and we hope that you had a lovely weekend despite ‘mwezi kuwa kona’ for most people, more so those in the private sector.

Last week ended at a low, with the country losing a visionary leader in Kibra MP Ken Okoth to cancer. We at Opera News wish to extend our condolences to the family and friends of the late Ken Okoth, as well as the constituents of Kibra Constituency. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

How would you feel if you went to the airport to meet someone, then they ghost on you and use an alternative exit? Utaskiaje? That has been the story making rounds that President Uhuru used an alternative exit to avoid his Deputy Ruto on Saturday night after jetting in from Zambia. However, Ruto has refuted the claims, saying that he was nowhere near JKIA. Interesting times huh?

The political temperatures are not cooling anytime soon. A move to impeach the president?On what grounds? Also, university reforms could be around the corner.
