Even though he has not directly spoken about the ever changing political dynamics in the country in recent days, Deputy President William Ruto is understandably unhappy.
Barely a month after the historic handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta, in which Ruto was predictably kept in cold, the DP may have sensed clandestine constitutional changes that could thwart is ascension to the throne.
"We cannot allow talks for constitutional amendments to accommodate some people. The only dialogue we can accept must revolve around development," he said.
The Thursday's meeting between Raila and retired president Daniel Moi may have further irked the DP given the composition of those who received Raila.
Conspicuously, the presence of Tiaty MP William Kamket, the author of the Bill that if passed, would see executive powers shifting to Prime Minister instead of imperial presidency, may even trigger another headed political duel.
"Those who intend to be in 2022 race, you don't need such visits. Just come and face us," said Aden Duale, a trusted lieutenant of Ruto.
Interestingly, Nandi senator Samson Cherargei, a close associate of Ruto, has openly questioned Raila's handshake with Uhuru, saying that the deal is detrimental to Ruto's ambitions.
"We are not happy with his moves within Jubilee, now that he has shown us his secret card that he is willing to push Gideon to run against Ruto," he said.
