Change of tune?

Through KANU Secretary General Nick Salat, Moi informed the DP that they should put their political rivalry behind them as they propel President Uhuru Kenyatta to achieve his big four agenda.“Moi sent me to Ruto to tell him that we have to put the interests of the people of Baringo and other Kenyans first.“And the DP said let's work because we are here to serve Kenyans," Salat told a local daily.
