The popular Kikuyu benga song “Reke Tumamwo” (let us part ways), took a political dimension during the Sagana III meeting on Wednesday as President Uhuru Kenyatta took head-on his Deputy William Ruto, dismissing him as an untrustworthy person not fit to lead Kenya.
The 1990s hit by Peter Kigia punctuated the President’s high-voltage speech and was played repeatedly whenever he took a direct hit at his erstwhile “brother” Dr Ruto. The charged crowd, mainly from the newly rebranded Jubilee Party, danced and jubilated to the tune, as the “red army” cheered him on.
