Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua publicly clashed with Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria on Saturday as the divisions in President Ruto's government appeared to widen.

Whereas the Deputy President claimed some senior government officials had laid an elaborate plan to sabotage him by holding secret meetings to plot his downfall, Kuria hit back, dismissing what he said were efforts to drive Mt Kenya region out of government.
