Kenya: Deputy President William Ruto has sensationally claimed that Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi were silently praying that he is convicted of the criminal charges he is facing at The Hague so that the support he gets in the Rift Valley can be transferred to them.

An emotional DP told a rally at Sururu in Njoro Constituency, Nakuru County, yesterday that the heightened political activities in parts of Central Rift spearheaded by the Bomet governor and Senator Moi were motivated by the desire of the two leaders to benefit from his misfortune, noting that this was a taboo among the Kalenjin.
