Deputy President William Ruto began a weekend tour of central Kenya for fundraisers during a political strategy that seeks to appeal to the support base of President Uhuru Kenyatta. It started yesterday. Dr Ruto is campaigning to politically inherit the region, but he’s up against a wing of the Jubilee Party that’s allied to the President, with whom he has fallen out.
Every week later, the DP’s visits were postponed following a cupboard meeting at Manyani. The Nyeri and Kirinyaga tours, which are happening today, came hebdomadally after President Kenyatta’s address to Tumutumu residents, where he hit out at his deputy for opposing the BBI report and thus the guarantees by Dr Ruto and his allies that they might make things better once they win in 2022.
