Not so long ago, rumour had it that Deputy President William Ruto’s son Nick would be joining politics.
Being the eldest son of the Deputy President, it would be expected that he is being groomed to take over his father’s political career. Nick, it was claimed, was going to run for the Turbo parliamentary seat.
