There was uproar on social media after former President Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi ‘refused’ to see Deputy President William Ruto.
Ruto after a government function visited the home of the former President Moi in Kabarak in the company of Energy CS Charles Keter and Ainabkoi MP William chepkut and lawyer Stephen Kipkenda but was not in position to see Moi.
Moi was allegedly seeing his doctor and as a result would not see the DP.
Kenyans on social media were quick to react to the incident with some accusing Baringo Senator Gideon Moi for playing politics with his father.
“That is very unfortunate for a senator and a respected Man Gideon Moi denying the Deputy President a chance to see Moi. I was your follower but now you have just lost a vote,” noted James Njoroge.
“Playing politics and seeking to acquire popularity by denying Ruto an access to Moi’s blessings. Even without that we can still win the presidency in 2022,” noted Evans Kosgei.
“Frustrating your opponents does not earn you political mileage but instead ruin your journey. Pole bwana Ruto,” said Chris Wafula.
“I want to warn Gideon that Rift valley votes all belong to Ruto. You wait and see in 2022. Don’t even come to seek for votes after 2022 for you are now a disgrace to the Kalenjin community,” noted Amos Kogei.
“Stop politicizing the issue and its simple, Moi was seeing his doctor and it was not possible to see the DP at the same time,” noted Vincent Chemno.
“Dream 2022 over. Even the former president is not ready for a Ruto presidency. Am waiting to see Jubilee die-hards wreak havoc to Moi,” said Mr Sang Motrin.
“No one is happy about your leadership bwana hustler. Accept that simple fact that you are famous abut not popular,” opined Morris Ogoti.
“No need of making the incident a very big one. He simply did not want to see Ruto. It is normal. Maybe he was not in the mood of seeing anyone. It always happens. So stop making it a life and death issue,” said Davis Ketch.
“Why should he see him when he keeps despising and name calling old leaders who made him what he is today,” noted Mohamed Bagaja.
