How Uhuru’s Visit exposed political undercurrents in Gusii landPresident Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Kisii leaders during the President’s tour to Kisii County last week. Sunday Standard has reliably learnt that the MPs had agreed to skip the event, but some of them later decided to attend. According to Kemosi, a first-time MP, the plan was occasioned by a last-minute change of the President’s itinerary by some political forces. He also cited political aggression from a section of politicians from Kisii County, which he said would not allow them to present their views in the “neighbour’s land”. But the Chairman of Gusii MPs caucus Joash Nyamoko blamed Kemosi for not being keen on what the other leaders from Gusii were up to.
