The supremacy battle for control of the populous Central Kenya region has intensified as the 2022 succession begins to take shape. Rivalries and infighting among the region’s top political kingpins are threatening to split the voters as the next general elections draw near. The battle is not only focused on who will represent the region’s interests once President Uhuru Kenyatta completes his second and final term.

Waititu had a day to forget on Thursday as his city homes were raided at dawn by EACC detectives.
