Pressure is mounting on Deputy President William Ruto to resign for allegedly absconding duty, with critics saying his prolonged stay will undermine the authority of President Uhuru Kenyatta. “I can confirm nobody had invited the Deputy President to yesterday’s event. Allies of the President and Raila want Ruto to resign like the country's first Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Kasipul MP Ong’ondo Were said the Covid-19 conference was a crucial meeting which DP Ruto ought to have attended. DP Ruto has red carded himself by failure to heed his boss's directives,” he said.
