Both President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have remained mum on the recent happenings in the nation, specifically the ongoing debate about opposition's National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader Miguna Miguna.
Ruto's silence is, however, the loudest, since, as a person who is expected to soon embark on a presidential campaign, one would expect him to at least pick a side that would better his winning chances, as is always the case in politics.
The DP has also lately portrayed himself as a humble and soft-spoken leader, raising questions on why he could not, at least, use his powers to command for Miguna's decent treatment at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
On the other hand, his reaction is also justifiable as he is most likely trying to bring forth an image if a law-abiding leader who does not want to interfere with independent bodies.
By coming forth to intervene for Miguna, Ruto will have downplayed both the police and the immigration department, which have jointly inflicted Miguna's troubles over a traveling documents row.
As a person who has recurrently condemned him and the President, terming them as despots who fraudulently maneuvered their way back to power in the last poll, Ruto has every reason to silently watch as Miguna gets some 'punishment'.
The case is similar among his allies and aides, a majority of whom are also silently watching from afar while the vocal barrister's situation worsens.
Miguna jetted back into the country on Monday from Canada but was denied entry over lack of documentation resulting in a standoff between him and immigration officials.
This culminated in his detention at the airport before being again deported to Dubai.
