DP William Ruto faces a major split among his key allies after three MPs from the Rift Valley defied an order to resign from House leadership posts. “We are asking our MPs who have differences to sort them out amicably, instead of washing their dirty linen in public. Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, a close ally of the DP, on Friday asked Jubilee to punish MPs who defied Jubilee Party leaders President Uhuru Kenyatta and the DP. Sudi said Tiren, Bowen and Keter should resign as directed by the party and their positions be taken up by other MPs for equal sharing of positions. Farmers in the North Rift have backed Tiren and his colleagues to keep on the positions in the parliamentary committees.
