Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen has dismissed reports that there is a fight between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto over control of Parliament.
In a tweet, Murkomen said Daily Nation's headline 'Uhuru and Ruto fight for control of Parliament,' was 'fake and divisive', and should be ignored.
"Planted, fake and divisive. I am the Leader of Majority and we don’t have Tanga Tanga and Kieleweke there. Majority leadership is a team. We have our brothers and sisters in the minority who are contemptuously being mocked and ignored in this story. Speaker of the Senate is an innocent umpire. Ignore,'' Murkomen tweeted.
Earlier on, DP Ruto also rubbished the claims, adding that no one will break the unity between Jubilee leaders.
''Obvious usual sponsored fakes by those petrified by Jubilee unity who want to engage us in pettiness (mkeka/choo-type) of yore. Senators should ignore this nonsense. The President and I are focused on Big 4 and transformation. No amount of provocation will derail us or shake Jubilee,'' said DP Ruto.
In the story, the publication alleged that top leaders in the ruling Jubilee party were engaging in supremacy wars over the country's push to raise the debt ceiling to Sh9 trillion.
