What you need to know:

  • On Thursday, the DP met political and religious leaders from Narok, furthering his call for a win-win solution to the revenue-sharing formula impasse.
  • He also held talks with religious leaders from Nakuru County, joined by area Senator Susan Kihika and Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri.

  • Mr Sudi said they would take their 2022 agenda to every corner of the country.

Isolated in government and the ruling Jubilee Party, Deputy President William Ruto has now retreated to what his strategists call ‘safe zones’. He has been meeting political leaders from across the country and groups representing women, the youth and the clergy.

Long locked out of the exclusive nine-member club of the National Security Council, where he is constitutionally mandated to sit, the DP has now also seen the Inter-Governmental Budget and Economic Council, which he chairs, shunned by Cabinet secretaries and other senior civil servants.
