Former Kiambu governor William Kabogo has opened up on how President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy Dr William Ruto came to work together.
Speaking in an interview with Emoo FM, a radio station broadcasting in Kalenjin language and owned by MediaMax, Kabogo revealed how he drove to Ruto’s Karen home with Uhuru and negotiated a deal under a tree for three days.
“I know where DP and the President started their political union. Uhuru and I drove to Ruto’s Karen home. We sat under a tree for three days negotiating a working relationship…Ruto helped Uhuru to win. Do you think we would have won without Ruto?”
He has joined a growing list of leaders from Mt Kenya who are cautioning President Kenyatta against reneging on his promise to support Ruto in 2022.
Kabogo said if it were not for Ruto, Uhuru could not have won in the 2013 and 2017 elections.
Kabogo also questioned the motive behind the 2018 March handshake between the President and ODM leader Raila Odinga, saying if it was genuinely meant to bring peace, it would have involved other leaders.
