November 25, 2019, marked a significant moment in the ongoing power struggle between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto. According to sources, Uhuru bluntly rejected a proposal by Kieleweke, a group known for its anti-Ruto campaign, seeking funding for their activities.
It is reported that Uhuru tore into pieces the proposal, leaving the top proponents of Kieleweke shocked and demoralized. The President's response was a clear indication of his unwavering loyalty to Ruto, a friendship that he claims has come a long way.
"You people have no idea how far we have come with Ruto and how deep our friendship is," Uhuru is reported to have told the Kieleweke group.
Uhuru's refusal to fund Kieleweke's activities has dealt a significant blow to the group, which has since lost its momentum. The incident has sparked speculation about the true nature of the relationship between Uhuru and Ruto, with many questioning whether their differences are merely political or personal.
