As journalists wait for the cabinet reshuffle at state house, a function that ought to have been underway by now  but has reportedly been delayed by the Deputy President, who has ducked it, now for a third time, a number of Rift Valley URP MPs have been seen entering DP Ruto’s Karen residence.
The meeting, according to sources, has been called to prepare for any eventuality in the event President Uhuru decides to reshuffle the cabinet without Deputy President Ruto’s involvement.
In the latest stand-off, it is reported that Ruto gave a list of persons who were to be appointed to top government jobs including ambassadors, heads of parastatals, principal secretaries and board members of various government agencies, however, the names were changed again.
According to sources, the DP was invited to statehouse two weeks ago and the final list he was presented to review before making a joint announcement by the president had names that were not in his primary list.
The DP is under pressure from his Kalenjin base to not cede more ground to President Uhuru, who is keen to eat into the URP (read Kalenjin) share of appointments to appease other communities while maintaining the TNA (read kikuyu) share.

I have never understood why rift valley people have been so blind. No one will viye ruto in 2022 from central even if Uhuru shouts from mountain tops provided there is a Kikuyu running for the top office. Ruto’s best opportunity to become president is now. If his people are brave then they should remove this fellow from office and have him as president. He then stands a chance to rin and win in 2017.

I can authoritatively say that the biggest problem in Jubilee government is William Ruto and his kinsmen. Whereas Uhuru wants a government that reflects the face of Kenya, Ruto and his Kalenjin leaders want a government of two tribes. The sooner the President realizeshe that the blame will be on him if the government fails to fulfill the pledges they gave to Kenyans the better. Ruto has always been saying that this government si ya nusu mkate and I wonder when he demands his share. Perhaps he should tell Kenyans how much is his share.

Since Ruto wanted this by himself, let him die his own death as he always talked rubbishly abusing Raila. He Should be left to serve as an example…

Nandi hills man spoke, Bomet man spoke and the voice from Kuresoi was heard but all these were misinterpreted to mean insubordination! Now we have known that CONSULTATION IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Lesson. Dont burn bridges after crossing the river. You may need the same to cross back the river. Unfortunately Rutto is too arrogant to listen to anyone.

Ruto don’t betray kalenjins..we want our minister to be reinstated. And mr uhuru wants to shield waiguru thru reshuffling process. You can’t fight corruption by targetting only urp members..
