Baringo senator Gideon Moi has hit yet again at Deputy President William Ruto over the ongoing succession politics ahead of 2022.
Throughout the burial of Baringo South MP Grace Kipchoim, speaker after speaker accused Moi of sabotaging Ruto's ambitions.
But upon the time of condoling with the family, Moi accused Ruto lieutenants of being obsessed with him instead of delivering for the people.
"I don't know why people are being obsessed with me instead of focusing on how to deliver for our people," he said.
He added: "No amount of intimidation shall work. I am not interested in such theatrics and blackmail. We shall meet when that time comes."
The two political protagonists are embroiled in a vicious war over the control of the populous Rift Valley region.
During his speech, Ruto however skipped addressing the vicious contest and instead limited his speech to mourning with the deceased.
