President Uhuru Kenyatta has decided to go slow on the purge against Deputy William Ruto’s allies in the Jubilee Party.

This emerged after the president's wing reportedly decided to back down on the onslaught against politicians propagating the ideals of United Democratic Alliance (UDA), an affiliate of the ruling party, which has been the bone of contention since the purge on the parliamentary leadership that started last year.
