On Thursday, Deputy President William Ruto met his main critic Maina Kamanda at a memorial event for the late President Jomo Kenyatta.

Despite their differences and the animosity they have towards each other through the media, the two were seen embracing and laughing together.

It was a rare moment of camaraderie between the two, who have been at odds over Ruto's 2022 presidential ambitions.

Also present at the event was Senator James Orengo, a vocal critic of Ruto's political ambitions.

The photos of Ruto with Kamanda and Orengo have sparked debate about the nature of politics in Kenya, with some viewing it as a game of cat and mouse.
