A day after President Uhuru Kenyatta publicly declared that he will be launching and inspecting development projects himself, effectively grounding DP Ruto’s Tangatanga brigade that has been traversing the country, his deputy has answered back, leaving no doubt that he will defy the directive.

His remarks come just days after president Uhuru Kenyatta made it clear that he wll no longer be sending people to launch projects a those he used to send had turned into hyenas, pursuing their own selfish interests.
“I no longer trust anyone,” said the President in Githioro, Kinangop.
“Those I used to send to represent me and ensure that development projects are on the right track started behaving like hyenas and doing their own things to enrich themselves. Let no one cheat you; from today, I am not sending anyone to help me. I’ll do it on my own.” added the president.
