A recent claim of an assassination plot against Deputy President William Ruto has brought back memories of the infamous 'Ngoroko affair' in Kenya.
The 'Ngoroko affair' refers to a 2013 incident in which a group of men, allegedly linked to the government, attempted to assassinate Ruto in his home in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County.
At the time, the incident was widely reported in the media, with many Kenyans expressing shock and outrage at the alleged attempt on Ruto's life.
Now, with the latest claim of an assassination plot against Ruto, many are drawing parallels with the 'Ngoroko affair'.
While the latest claim has not been confirmed, it has sparked a heated debate in Kenya, with many calling for greater security measures to be put in place to protect the Deputy President and other high-profile individuals.
