For the better part of two years, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has positioned himself as President William Ruto’s most loyal foot soldier, wielding a political style defined by insults, threats, and accusations of deploying goons and police to silence dissent.

To his opponents, the Kikuyu MP is a bully who uses crude language and state machinery to battle opponents.
