SUNDAY NATION is reporting that President William Ruto was to make a 14 line up cabinet call during the naming that happened on Friday but he opted to release an 11 member cabinet pending settlement of wrangles in the Raila Odinga Camp.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta is also said to be actively working to impede a possible alliance between Azimio leader Raila Odinga and President William Ruto, particularly by opposing Odinga’s potential appointment as the Chairperson of the Africa Union Commission (AUC).
Sources from both the government and Odinga’s camp, as reported by a local media house, indicate that Kenyatta is lobbying for Odinga to abandon the AUC role, suggesting that he should prioritize national politics and shift his trajectory away from international duties which risk diminishing his impact within Kenya.
The paper goes on to allege that Uhuru Kenyatta, told Raila that Ruto’s government is likely to fall anytime and he could be the biggest beneficiary.
The plan according to the paper, is to have Raila team up with Muhoho Kenyatta to defeat Ruto. To this effect Uhuru has promised to mobilise central to be fully behind Raila.
