Ruto must crack the whip on rebels to regain control of URP

Two things define Deputy President William Ruto and Member of Parliament Moses Kuria correctly. The first is that both are leaders by default. Secondly, they share an aversion for Raila Odinga and don’t make any pretext about it.

They have no apologies to make either. All political leaders, with the exception of the Deputy President who is an appendage of the presidential candidate, undergo the electoral process of voting which entails either a tick or cross on a ballot paper against a preferred candidate’s name by the voter. Mr Kuria did not undergo that process while Mr Ruto was exempted.
