Why Deputy President William Ruto cannot be ignored

Kenya: Deputy President William Samoei Ruto has of late been a man under siege. From the ICC issue to the home ground political intrigues to the national challenges. Although analysts say that the geneses of his woes are self-inflicted, as Rift Valley rivalries heats up, he is still the man to watch!

Ever since he warned his political enemies that “The writings are on the wall!” he has minced his words. He has tested the ground to caution his political rivals and detractors. The DP has in the recent past publically announced that he would back his boss, President Uhuru for another re-election come what may and would continue to root for Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) as the President’s political vehicle come the 2017 polls.
