The defection of Dr Khalwale is the third in the last three months that Dr Ruto has presided over. University of Nairobi don Herman Manyora agrees that Dr Ruto has grown increasingly defiant, but notes it is nothing new. Interestingly, Dr Ruto has gone back to his routine of hosting delegations at his rural and official homes in Sugoi and Karen, respectively. Details of the meeting remain scanty, but it is believed that plan B on the 2022 political vehicle was discussed. PROJECTSJust this week, Mr Ruto oversaw the signing of a Sh10 billion water and sanitation programme deal funded by the World Bank.
