Despite the heated political climate surrounding the Deputy President's post, President William Ruto steered clear of the topic during yesterday's Mashujaa Day celebrations in Kwale.
However, in his first public address since the Senate impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for, among other things, making divisive remarks, Ruto spoke strongly against tribalism. Without directly naming the embattled DP, he issued a warning to those engaging in ethnic politics.
