Kenya Will Pay A Heavy Price For UhuRuto’s Breakup – Murkomen

Date:

Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has warned that the fallout between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto is not just a turmoil in Jubilee but also a political risk.

Through his Twitter, the Elgeyo Marakwet said the animosity will hit Kenyans hard.

“The President fighting his Deputy isn’t merely a Jubilee political joke. In international business terms that’s called political risk,” he said.

According to the Senator, the Shilling will continue falling as the country has continuously borrowed loans from international organizations.

“It’s terrible. Being a nation that has borrowed heavily, the Shilling will keep falling and we shall pay heavily. Investors are already on wait and see the state,” he added.

Murkomen’s statement comes just after a week when the Kenyan shilling remained unchanged against the US dollar, to close at Sh108.5 similar to what was recorded the week before.

President Kenyatta seems to have shoved power from DP William Ruto after stripping him of his allies in Parliament and reducing his functions and funding.

According to legal experts, there is no fixed timeline for the start of the presidential campaign vote hunt.

Ruto’s continuous scouring for his 2022 presidential support has put him on a collision cause with President Kenyatta who has maintained that early campaigns interfere with the implementation of his development agenda.

The relationship between the President and his deputy is being characterized by hard-hitting remarks targeted at each other. The one-time unified ruling party is a divided house and the Cabinet is deeply divided.

To reduce Ruto’s political influence, the President gave an Executive Order last year a move that gave Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i more powers.

By giving Matiang’i supervisory role across the government, President Kenyatta whittled the Deputy President’s influence and somehow ended his countrywide tours to launch and commission government projects.
