On August 2, 2019, a significant shake-up occurred in Deputy President William Ruto's office, with Emmanuel Talam being let go from his role as a communication aide.
According to sources close to Kenya Insights, Ruto's decision to terminate Talam's employment was motivated by concerns that the aide had been working behind his back and was responsible for a recent leak to the media.
The leak in question involved a story about a perceived snub by President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), which Ruto and his team had attempted to downplay despite the incident occurring.
