President William Ruto locked horns with Opposition leader Raila Odinga yesterday in what could define the trajectory of Kenya's politics for the next few years.

For the second day, Raila faulted the Ruto administration, harping on the high cost of living, with the President answering him on his demand for Scotland Yard to independently investigate extrajudicial killings.

And in Parliament, Ruto's troops rallied behind their boss, underscoring the government's resolve to run government affairs their own way.
