What you need to know:
- Mr Wamalwa said the DP insults him whenever he toured Bungoma and Trans Nzoia counties instead of championing the Kenya Kwanza manifesto.
- The CS claimed the DP had opposed his appointment by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
- He recalled how DP Ruto opposed his appointment as Water and Irrigation CS, keeping Mr Wamalwa in the cold for weeks before Mr Kenyatta intervened.
Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa now wants Deputy President William Ruto to abstain from further insulting him and instead concentrate on promoting his agenda.
Mr Wamalwa Wednesday said the DP insults him whenever he toured Bungoma and Trans Nzoia counties instead of championing the Kenya Kwanza manifesto.
