The top cream of leadership allied to Uhuru Kenyatta, Kieleweke team is said to be holding meetings to counter Deputy President William Ruto’s wave in Mt Kenya.
They plan to counter the influence of pro-Ruto MPs in the region and instead promote the handshake between Uhuruand Raila Odinga.
They will also sell Uhuru’s development score sheet to dispute the narrative that the President has lost the grip in the Mt Kenya region for not delivering development.
The Agenda has also been pushed to parliament where a section of President Kenyatta’s allies are pushing for the removal of Ruto’s lieutenants from leadership positions.
Kieleweke camp has maintained that Ruto’s troops who hold strategic positions in the National Assembly and the Senate must be removed for sabotaging the President. According to them, Uhuru’s truce with his nemesis-turned-friend Raila Odinga was for the sole purpose of ruining Jubilee’s succession matrix i.e Ruto’s chances of succeeding him.
