On August 21, 2019, a significant change occurred in Deputy President William Ruto's office. Emmanuel Talam, who served as a communication aide, was let go.
According to sources close to the matter, Ruto believed Talam was working behind his back and was responsible for a recent leak to the media.
The leak in question involved a story about President Uhuru Kenyatta snubbing Ruto at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). Despite attempts by the DP and his aides to downplay the incident, it was widely reported in the media.
