Deputy President William Ruto’s allies have stepped up the attack on unnamed State House operatives they claim are scheming his downfall.

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen yesterday claimed he would unmask top officials in the Jubilee government that he and his colleagues claim are working to frustrate Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.
