Kenyan politician Hon Ngunjiri Wambugu reflected on historical ethnic tensions between Kikuyu and Kalenjin communities, emphasizing the lasting memory of 2007's post-election violence. The remarks addressed political dynamics involving former President Uhuru Kenyatta and current Deputy President William Ruto, noting Uhuru's role in fostering trust between Mt Kenya and Ruto's supporters after 2007.
Wambugu criticized attempts to frame the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) as an ethnic entity, citing its electoral losses in 2012, 2017, and 2019 without subsequent violence. He contrasted ODM's 2007 actions with later elections, suggesting that the 2007 ethnic clashes involved individuals later expelled from the party.
A 2019 press statement from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) addressed corruption allegations against the Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) and Rift Valley Water Services Board, though no specific findings were detailed in the referenced social media post.
