From having the same sartorial taste to openly dissing one another, the relationship between Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto best explains the expression- enjoy it while it lasts.
Worse still, tangible sources intimate that the head of state has turned down overtures for a reconciliatory meeting to iron out his political differences with his deputy William Ruto, their differences have played out publicly since the 9th March 2018 handshake deal..
DP Ruto is said to have dispatched emissaries to president’s uncle Mzee George Muhoho, to broker a truce between the two but not much was achieved.
Another set of emissaries tried to use Jubilee parliamentary group meeting to bring together Uhuru and Ruto but the president declined to call the meeting.
DP Ruto’s emissaries have also reached out to Uhuru’s younger brother Muhoho who sources indicate is very close to Raila Odinga and hardly a day passes without the two exchange text messages, Muhoho is said to have respectively refused and told Ruto’s emissaries to tell their master to talk directly to Uhuru.
Other avenues Ruto’s camp has been allegedly exploring include approaching the head of the Catholic Church cardinal John Njue, who is a close friend of the Kenyattas, with hopes Cardinal Njue would help mediate the two and bring back the magic and help unite Jubilee party ahead of 2022 general election.
To warm his way to the Catholic church, Ruto started by first presenting a brand new Mitsubishi Pajero as a gift to the Catholic Archbishop Phillip Anyolo during his installation ceremony in Kisumu at an event which was also attended by Raila Odinga.
It was after realizing Ruto’s game plan to misuse the church that Raila went into offensive by sensationally claiming Pope Francis had directed Kisumu Archbishop to return the car gift he received from the deputy president.
Recently, a charged-up president tore into critics of the handshake and termed as “pettiness” the claims that the truce with Raila was a political machination aimed at 2022.
Uhuru confirmed that he has never discussed 2022 succession politics with Raila.
Most of Uhuru handlers are said to have advised Ruto emissaries to pass through Raila if they want a truce with the President.
Insiders say that Uhuru is bitter that his deputy is running a parallel government and at one time, he referred to the president as mlevi. To complicate matters is the fear that Ruto and his allies are undermining his development goals (legacy) and portraying him a lame duck president.

the born vampire thief in his little IQ brain thinks he’s very clean to the extent he blame all his evils on the dp as his father did to his fellow colleagues at his life time. The sad part and reality he passes the same evil DNA to his siblings.
mr vampire, stop indebting the citizens of the republic of Kenya with loans you keep borrowing and looting at the same time and asking Kenyans with evidence to go report you thieving: yet you know you are the assassinators of witnesses as was the ICC case and Jacob Juma who smoked your Brookside company of mixing poison (melamine) in to milk in your satanic mission of reducing the population of none mt Kenyans. Simple question mr election thief vampire, is there any different between you and Lucifer?
Since, you’ve failed the nation and country. Why blame it on the dp and Dr Miguna Miguna for smoking you out and your vampire handshake brother in crime.
Zombie, you go out saying that the hand shake is meant to build bridges after you killed many Kenyans citizens in both 2017 election when the whole country rejected you 88%. If you can’t reconcile with the dp, so what do you think the vampire handshake will achieve?
Human sacrifices under the handshake fallacy doesn’t make you leaders by any standard. And please take your 1.5% house levy from our salaries and your family stashed loots blood money at CBA and build houses and mortgage it to you mungiki followers, after all your family and his cartels looted their lands to this day.
Bure kabisa.
God should strike you in space as you go borrowing loans to loot and Kenya will be safe from your kind. . .

They are born mistakes. The two are the reason why the country has gone to the dogs. Only half of the money borrowed goes to SGR. The other half is wired to Brunei! Then you hear ‘mnataka nifanye nini jameni’.
