President Uhuru Kenyatta excited social media users on Saturday after referring to DP William Ruto as 'twina njamba yakwa' which means a courageous young man.
Uhuru travelled back to Nairobi by road after attending the 20th Heads of State Summit of the East African Community (EAC) held in Arusha, Tanzania.
Ruto received the president at the Namanga border and the two made several stopovers in Kajiado County to inspect projects address area residents.
In unison, the two leaders urged locals to shun divisive politics and focus their energies on development.
The recent elevation of Interior CS Fred Matiang’i to a Super CS post led to bitter reactions from the president's camp. However, after the recent developments, it seems all is well.
The president’s description electrified the DP’s supporters and allayed fears of a fallout between the two as some media outlets had claimed.
It had been reported that President Kenyatta had abandoned the arrangement that would see him back Ruto’s candidature in 2022.
Here is the video.
