The Kenyan political temperatures have been rising day in day out.
After president Uhuru Kenyatta broke his silence on the ‘Team Tangatanga’and ‘Kieleweke’ feud, it is now evident that DP Ruto’s camp has been left in a tough jolt.
The remarks made by the president on Sunday clearly targeted ‘Team Tanga-tanga’.
The president was clear in warning the politicians who are fond of campaigning. DPRuto’s confidants are the ones who have the traits which the president was condemning.
That is a big blow to DP Ruto’s camp because it has created pandemonium in the Jubilee Party, especially on Team Tangatanga’s political strategy.
The ardent loyalists of DP Ruto must be between a rock and a hard place. That is so since if they decide to go on campaigning for the DP they would have disobeyed the president.
Some lawmakers allied to Team Tangatanga have openly defied the president’s statement and vowed to keep on campaigning for the DP.
Putting in the context that the president is the political kingpin of Mount Kenya and he has openly blown off the lid towards Team Tanga-tanga, the legislators risk losing relevance in their home turf.
That sends jitters to DP Ruto’s camp because their hit men are being silenced by the president.
It is a real jolt to DP Ruto’s team and they have to go back to the drawing board and counter the president’s statements strategically.
