The outspoken MP said that when he placed the call to the country's second-in-command, he picked it up to his surprise, a testament to the good relationship that Ruto has with legislators.

''William Ruto will pick your phone. One time I just tried, I called him and he picked it up. He has a personal touch with parliamentarians,'' Wamalwa said.

Kiminini was weighing in on the DP's 2022 prospects amid tensions in the governing Jubilee Party.

He added that Ruto was a smart politician with diverse networks that would help his presidential bid.

The Deputy President is expected to be the standard-bearer of Jubilee in 2022 pursuant to a pre-election pact between Uhuru and Ruto.
