He stated that the DP could not go anywhere unless it was pre-arranged and confirmed, in this case asserting that Ruto's visit was pre-planned."Gideon Moi is an interesting man. Very interesting. But #TeamHustle & its automatic membership of hustlers will just pray for him. "Just take note of this, DP @WilliamsRuto cannot just appear anywhere without prior arrangement &confirmation. Unless its an emergency. Ni hayo tu," his tweet read.

Mzee Moi had an appointment with his doctor thus could not meet William RutoIn a statement sent to newsrooms, Mzee Moi's communication team confirmed DP's visit to see the former Head of State.However, the team stated that Moi could not see Ruto as his visit coincided with the former President's appointment with his doctor."Former President Mzee Daniel arap Moi was visited today by Deputy President His Excellency William Ruto at his Kabarak home."Unfortunately, this coincided with the time Mzee Moi was undergoing routine physical exercise with his doctors. Mzee Moi agreed to meet the visitors at convenient time another day in the very near future," part of the statement read.

On the other hand, sources close to DP Ruto intimated that it was a plot to embarrass him.Thursday's development could also have been instigated by the political rivalry between Ruto and Gideon, who are both eyeing the presidency in 2022. Kichumba reacts to Ruto's failed visit
