Uhuru-Ruto Union Facing Problems, Says Senator Kipchumba Murkomen
Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen has admitted that the relationship between President Uhuru and Deputy President William Ruto is getting rocky.
Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV, the Elgeyo-Marakwet senator, a confidant of Deputy President Ruto, claimed that some people in President Kenyatta's office were behind the growing disquiet in the ruling party.
"We have discovered, after research, that some people in the president’s office are leaking information that has been used to propagate propaganda (against Ruto)," he alleged, but declined to name the individuals.
He added: "Let me be very frank, I believe that the investment ‘those people’ are putting in to drive a wedge between the president and his deputy is so huge and to a great extent it is creating faults. The concerns that these people exist and work in the president’s office is obvious."
He said the unnamed officials are misguiding President Kenyatta with an attempt to break Jubilee and block Ruto's 2022 presidential ambition.
"They lie to the president telling him that his only legacy will be the Big Four Agenda. I think an honest presidency, a united government count for much as well," the Elgeyo Marakwet senator said.
''They are the ones sponsoring stories in the newspapers and using other people in an attempt to break the party. Their only motive is to contain Ruto and stop him from making it to presidency,'' he added.

Mheshimiwa Ruto: in 2013 you and Mheshimiwa Uhuru told the public that you will be co-presidents. We have not yet forgotten your promise. You have served two terms. It's time that you stop dreaming about another term in office.
We know that you are very rich and have lots of money to bribe immoral and corrupt people to support your presidency come 2022. It is wrong.
Any person supporting Mheshimiwa's 2022 presidency has been bribed. Why? No one with a working and rational brain can support such a corrupt and immoral person like Mheshimiwa Ruto.
By the way, when are you going to tell the Wananchi the names of the people responsible for the deaths of innocent men, women, and children in Kiambaa Church in Eldoret? You wish everyday that we forget what happened in that church. We will not.

Mheshimiwa Peter N. Kahura:
Just imagine serving a vegetarian a meal and asking the vegetarian whether they would like to eat nyama choma or samaki choma?
The two Waheshimiwa (raila and Ruto) should not even dream or imagine being the next president of Kenya. None of them is fit to be in our state house. Matiba was wrong: don't ask a vegetarian whether they would like to eat nyama choma or samaki choma. A vegetarian does not eat meat. The Kenyan people should not be asked to make a choice between Raila or Ruto.
