Renowned columnist Macharia Gaitho has reacted to a tweet by Deputy President Dr William on his article for the Daily Nation.
In the tweet, the Deputy President appeared to poke holes in Gaitho's commentary on the Sagana meeting and its implication on his strategy.
According to Ruto, the Sagana State Lodge meeting was an affirmation of the ruling governing Jubilee party democratic credentials.
"Gaitho, your piece though inaccurate is an attempted fair comment. In Kibra, we doubled our %vote & used the opportunity to call out the lords of violence. In Sagana, Jubilee's democratic credentials were affirmed. Headlines are paid for, stories planted&span. Twitter is the remedy, " Ruto had written.
Expressing his appreciation for the DP's feedback on his article, Macharia Gaitho was quick to let Ruto know that he could not be bought.
"Welcome Mr DP. Your continued custom and feedback is always valued. Keep reading, but rest assured that some of us are beyond purchase, " the renowned social and political commentator wrote in response.
In the article, Mr Gaitho took issue with the country's second in command's tendency to take on mainstream media outlets on Twitter and calling them out for 'fake news.'
The columnist described Ruto's social media antics in the article as typical Trumpian responses.
