- Netizens have been left mouth open following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s allegations that his deputy William Ruto wanted to overthrow him.
- In a meeting on Saturday 26th March, 2022 at State House where he met over 3,000 Kikuyu elders, the head of state described Ruto as a power-hungry politician who wanted him out of power.
