Do whatever you want with DP but please don't divide Kenyans

If the calls of impeachment are followed to their logical end, one thing is certain; the impeachment will be a perfectly executed mutually assured destruction by the erstwhile political lovebirds - the President and his deputy. A successful impeachment will mean that the deputy president will have to forget about 'Murima' for he would be effectively extinguished politically. Photos of him taking a morning walk will be of him in Wamunyoro village wondering how the honeymoon ended so first. This crisis will make and extinguish political careers.

However, the persistent question is, has private commercial interests and short-term political postures supplanted public interest in William Ruto's state?
