Ruto and Uhuru's Separate Visits to Murang'a Raise Concerns ¶
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto are set to visit Murang'a county separately on November 10, 2019, sparking concerns about the growing rift between the two leaders.
According to reports, the two leaders will hold separate meetings in the county, with President Kenyatta scheduled to meet with local leaders in the Maragua constituency, while Deputy President Ruto will meet with his own group of leaders in the Kandara constituency.
The separate visits have raised eyebrows, with some observers suggesting that the rift between the two leaders is deepening. The two leaders were once known for their close relationship, but recent events have suggested that they are drifting apart.
Deputy President Ruto has been quoted as saying that he has received a formal invitation to visit Murang'a, while Senator Irungu Kang'ata has also confirmed that he has been informed about President Kenyatta's visit to the county.
However, the separate visits have also sparked concerns about the potential for conflict between the two leaders. The two leaders have been at odds over several issues, including the 2022 elections, and some observers have suggested that the rift between them could have serious consequences for the country.
Despite the concerns, the two leaders are expected to go ahead with their separate visits to Murang'a, with some observers suggesting that the visits could be an opportunity for the two leaders to mend their differences.
