President William Ruto and Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga have clashed over the fate of four electoral agency commissioners, including vice chair Juliana Cherera.
A tweet by President Ruto, in which he appeared to refer to Raila as a 'lord of impunity', was uncharacteristically confrontational.
"The lords of impunity, who destroyed oversight institutions using the handshake fraud, should allow Parliament to hold rogue officials who put the nation in danger by subverting the democratic will of the people, to account," Ruto, who is on an official visit to South Korea, tweeted yesterday morning. "New order is RULE of LAW (sic) not wishes of big men."
