Their wars started in 2016 after Matiang’i had appointed a new Vice Chancellor, Laban Ayiro, for the institution. The two have been engaged in serious fighting, which has been kept out of the public eye for months, and those aware of it yesterday told the Star that the battle is spiraling out of control.

Many reasons have been attributed to this; Matiang’i, country’s unofficial Prime Minister is a hard nut to crack. His fierce principles and incorruptible morality has made him a marked man.

When Ruto was alleged to be interested in importing new police uniforms, stubborn Matiang’i fully rejected the idea telling Ruto off in the face. Whereas DP Ruto had hatched a plot in collaboration with the then Inspector General Joseph Boinet, to have the new uniforms imported from China in return reaping huge profits, Matiangi put his foot down that the country had enough capacity to manufacture the uniforms

He is the only Cabinet Secretary in entire government who does not bow down to demands by DP Ruto and shoots straight from the hip.

His strong work ethic has won the president’s confidence, something Ruto is so insecure and uncomfortable about. DP Ruto has been making several attempts to clip the Interior CS’s wings but all his moves end up falling flat on the face.

The first public spat between the two was over new police uniforms. . It is reported DP Ruto took on the CS during a cabinet meeting, trying to dress him down in front of other cabinet secretaries.

However, things went further down south when President Uhuru, through an executive order early this year gave the CS role of supervising and coordinating all government projects and directly reporting to the head of state.

Ruto felt he was being eclipsed in government. It is at this point he decided Matiangi has to be contained before he gained enormous power in government. The DP sees Matiangi as a threat to his 2022 ambition and has vowed to get rid of him from the cabinet as quick as he can.

An elaborate scheme has been hatched and impeachment motion against CS Matiangi is being drafted by Ruto allied MPs. They have been waiting for the best opportunity to execute their plan, and the fake gold scandal has presented that opportunity.

As seen by many, the fake gold scandal in which Matiang’i ‘s name has been mentioned has come in handy for Ruto and his allies to take an act of good revenge on Matiang’i and have him ousted out of the government before 2022.

Ruto is not afraid of Raila Odinga nor his boss Uhuru Kenyatta rather Fred Matiang’i and he will use all means possible to bring Matiang’i down to his knees.
