The US government has moved to dispel election fears raised by Deputy President William Ruto through a meeting held on Thursday, March 3. US Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, Molly Phee made the assurance today as she hosted Deputy President William Ruto at the State Department in Washington DC," a press release from Ruto's campaign secretariat read in part. This follows his request to President Joe Biden's administration to support Kenya in pushing for credible polls and avert fears of manipulation and rigging. His fears on election manipulation, however, differ with the stand taken by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) led by Wafula Chebukati who assured Kenyans of credible polls results.
