On July 17, 2020, reports emerged that President Uhuru Kenyatta had outsmarted his deputy William Ruto in the 2022 presidential election strategy, beating him in his own game after a fallout in Jubilee.
According to sources, the president had secretly planted moles within the deputy president's circles to provide intelligence, even as Ruto embarked on crafting a strategy to win the 2022 presidential elections.
As a result, a number of politicians from the Mount Kenya region switched sides, dumping President Uhuru Kenyatta's side in support of DP Ruto's. However, media reports indicate that these politicians were actually spies deployed to monitor the on-goings within the rebel Tangatanga outfit and provide updated information.
Realizing this, DP Ruto is reportedly implementing a purge to weed out suspected moles and those not supportive of his 2022 agenda. Those targeted include several Cabinet Secretaries, a Rift Valley MP, and a Mount Kenya Woman Representative within his camp who has been accused of leaking information to the rival Kieleweke camp.
According to sources within the DPS camp, 'in 2022, the DP will be the country's candidate after he deputizes for the president. We have good plans and insiders in the government who will ensure he succeeds Uhuru.'
