President William Ruto during Mashujaa Day celebrations in Kwale. [Kelvin Karani, Standard]Despite the heated political climate surrounding the Deputy President’s post, President William Ruto steered clear of the topic during yesterday’s Mashujaa Day celebrations in Kwale. However, in his first public address since the Senate impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for, among other things, making divisive remarks, Ruto spoke strongly against tribalism. Notably absent were Chief Justice Martha Koome and opposition leaders, including ODM’s Raila Odinga, now an ally of President Ruto. President William Ruto was accompanied by Deputy President nominee Kithure Kindiki and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
