Dennis Kiptoo Mutai, the man whose tweet went viral for threatening members of a particular Community with dire consequences should they betray William Ruto come 2022 is now a wanted man by the police.
National Police Service has said they are taking the threats seriously and will deal with the suspect accordingly.
“Our attention has been drawn to some tweets supposedly issued by an individual issuing threats to ignite inter-ethnic clashes akin to what occurred in 2007/8 in parts of the country,” NPS said.

Kiptoo insists that the Kikuyu community should “pay up their debt” by supporting the presidency of Ruto in 2022.
National Cohesion and Integration Commission on Wednesday said it has commenced investigations and will take appropriate action.
Kiptoo’s reckless statements have seen a section of Kenyans on Twitter asking for his arrest.
Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo said it was the most irresponsible utterance and must be condemned in the strongest terms possible.
Kiptoo has apparently deleted the tweet already but did not fall short to affirm his unending loyalty to DP William Ruto. He later posted another tweet saying: The only Man I fear and respect on Earth is Hon Dr.William Ruto, I’d rather die before You touch William Ruto
