The government took over the reins of power when it shutdown three TV stations over Raila Odinga's swearing-in, Kiambu politicians have said. They were shut for defying an order against covering the event that took place at January 30, while president Uhuru Kenyatta was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. They said the move showed deputy president WIlliam Ruto is ready to take over leadership when Uhuru finishes his second term in 2022. Ndichu, who left the county speaker's forum to attend the function, further informed Ruto that they agreed to rally all MCAs to support him.
