The much-anticipated taming of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during the Kenya Kwanza parliamentary group meeting failed to materialise as his accusers found themselves holding the wrong end of the stick.

In what could be a game-changer in the soured relations between President William Ruto and his deputy, Ruto dispatched Gachagua yesterday to represent him in South Africa for the inauguration of re-elected President Cyril Ramaphosa.
