The latest meeting was insinuated to have showcased the probability that Uhuru and Ruto were back on good terms.
The last time the Jubilee party members were at the ‘house on the hill’, DP Ruto found himself on the wrong side of his boss.
It was reported that the ex-URP leader was given a dress down after being summoned by the Commander-in-chief.
Further information revealed that the deputy president was condemned due to his efforts of frustrating Uhuru’s legacy.
Additional details pointed out that Ruto was slammed for frustrating the BBI initiative.
Whether the two have mended their relationship, remains a factor that will be determined with time.
