By NDUNGU GACHANEMore by this AuthorPresident Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga have postponed their visit to Mt Kenya region to June amid a simmering rebellion by a section of Central Kenya politicians over the duo’s political pact. It is aimed at popularising the handshake and uniting the nation as the President promised after greeting Mr Odinga,” he said. Mr Ruto and his allies have cast doubts on the handshake, accusing Mr Odinga of hatching a plot to divide Jubilee, claiming “he is a wolf wearing a sheep’s skin”. Interestingly, leaders allied to Mr Ruto are not privy to the tour. Pundits have associated the delayed tour with the growing popularity of Mr Ruto in the region, speculating that the ground might be too hostile for Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga.
