The succession tantrums; kingmakers testing waters

Recently, we have experienced political tension in Jubilee camp. This is as a result of utterances by Jubilee politicians from the Central Kenya region; some hinted that the region will not automatically support the Deputy President, William Ruto in his 2022 presidential bid...they also said that the region owes the deputy president nothing politically.

Others stated that the region will be solidly behind DP owing to loyalty and support that he has accorded president Uhuru Kenyatta. The absence of the Deputy President at the statehouse when six cabinet nominees were announced by the president raised eyebrows and sparked debate- that there was a rift between the president and his deputy!
