This is after the Rift Valley Council of Elders dismissed the KCE as a tribal outfit.

“It is the prerogative of the President to choose his deputy. KCE has never requested President Uhuru to drop his deputy for any reason whatsoever and believes they are a winning combination,” James Nene, Kikuyu Council of Elders Rift Valley, co ordinator said as quoted by the Star.

Nene, who is also KCE chairman of the Nakuru chapter, said they are unhappy with Rift Valley elders’ comments that are “divisive and demeaning” and asked the Rift Valley elders to verify facts before issuing press statements.
