Am not aware about the DP's diary while H.E Uhuru Kenyatta and The Rt.Hon Raila Odinga will be in Nyanza but if I were him, i will just accompany them to Nyanza and ensure we drive with Raila Odinga in the same car. pic.twitter.com/AclHjg4PXD

This photo taken at Kisumu International Airport in Kisumu County speaks volumes. Only those with eyes and intellect can accurately interpret it. If I were William Ruto, I'd have not gone to Kisumu. He should call it quits and try to walk on his own. He's not on Uhuru plans. pic.twitter.com/t8l69p8xjE
