RUTO ALLIES SIDELINEDThe warning directed at Tangatanga is understood by observers to be meant to cut his deputy William Ruto to size, after he defied him on halting early campaigns. “The President said the BBI will distribute leadership positions among communities and bring more inclusivity in the government,” said another source. He asked the elders to help him preach a positive message about the BBI so that it can be accepted. A senior politician who attended the meeting told the Saturday Nation that President Kenyatta was categorical that he would not entertain the Tangatanga brigade in the region. Politicians allied DP Ruto — Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria and Senator Susan Kihika — were barred from the function.
