Deputy President William Ruto was again missing in action as President Uhuru Kenyatta invited six political party leaders to State House on Thursday where they jointly lauded the success of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. Those invited include opposition leader Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, Charity Ngilu, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Moses Wetangula. DP Ruto is not a leader of a political party but nevertheless, his absence at such a historic event was loud and telling. This event as President Uhuru Kenyatta recently publicly dared his Deputy to resign from government other than criticizing it from within. Ruto has since criticized what he termed as an appetite for piling debt within the government.
