Uhuru and Ruto should own up that they helped create mess we are in

During this year’s International Labour Day celebrations, President Uhuru Kenyatta accused his estranged deputy of neglecting his duties and abandoning him, and the country by extension, at the country’s greatest hour of need.

His deputy responded, through Twitter and Facebook, that it was the President who actually abandoned him (Ruto) and assigned someone else the said duties. And Ruto is right. It is in public knowledge that Uhuru signed some executive order, the first one of 2020, which effectively robbed of Ruto his duties.
