NAIROBI: Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto’s branding of Deputy President William Ruto as a dictator unfit to rule ‘for obvious reasons’, drew angry reactions from the DP’s allies who warned the county chief he was digging his own political grave.

But a defiant Bomet governor declared he had no regrets for speaking out his mind and cited his vilification by the DP’s supporters as a pointer that the United Republican Party leader cannot tolerate dissenting voices hence he would be a ‘dangerous’ leader for the country.
