Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen, who also doubles up as the leader of the majority in the senate, has moved swiftly to dismiss claims President Uhuru is being undermined.
In a tweet on Friday, the DP Ruto-backing legislator held the view that President Uhuru Kenyatta was still the boss of the Jubilee party in spite of claims of leadership tussles.
The tweet is the latest in a series of rejoinders to a story published in the Daily Nation that claimed the DP Ruto and President Uhuru were locked in a proxy battle in Parliament.
"There is only one BOSS in JUBILLEE and his name is HE Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta CGH, CIC, President of Kenya and Jubilee Party Leader!" The Senate majority leader tweeted.
The Jubilee party has long grappled with speculation that its leader Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President Dr William Ruto do not see eye to eye on some fundamental issues.
The speculation has been fueled by the perception that the deputy president is campaigning for the 2022 presidential election in spite of the president's call for politicians to focus on working for Kenyans.
Uhuru has also been missing in action in the political theatre that is the Kibra by-election.
It is only the deputy president that has descended on the constituency to drum up support for former Harambee Stars forward McDonald Mariga, who is the Jubilee candidate.
