Deputy President William Ruto has been on the receiving end of numerous embarrassments within the Jubilee government, with some of his closest allies speaking out against the perceived injustices.

Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen was among those who expressed his outrage, accusing the Master of Ceremony, Junet Mohamed, of being openly biased and playing politics at the event.
Itumbi, who is a Digital Strategist based at State House, has been vocal in his criticism of what he terms as 'System Prefects', with Interior CS Karanja Kibicho being a frequent target of his attacks.
