The President didn’t name these “individuals” and perhaps he had reasons not to. The President’s barbs at unnamed, shady cartels financing litigation against his administration's agenda, took me back to a period that would have been 40 years ago last May. Following this, Moi relieved Njonjo of his Cabinet post on June 29, and appointed a Commission of Inquiry to look into the traitor issue. Surely, the country’s security agencies know the individuals behind the cartels that are a thorn in the government’s side, and if that is the case, President Ruto should name them without fear or favour and bring them to justice. Such a move would make him an instant hero, even with those who hitherto haven’t been his supporters, and if the cartels fought back, it would no longer be a shadowboxing match.
