During a recent Azimio Rally at Bukhungu stadium in Kakamega, Defence CS Eugene Wamalwa recounted the moment when William Ruto nearly slapped him.
Wamalwa revealed that it happened in 2018 after he invited a delegation from Western Kenya to meet the head of state without Ruto’s knowledge.
According to him, Ruto demanded an explanation on why he did not seek his permission and demanded him to resign. By then, Wamalwa was the CS for Devolution.
“The DP was very furious and demanded my resignation. He wanted me to explain why I had taken the leaders to meet President Uhuru Kenyatta without his permission, ” he said.
Wamalwa added that if Ruto had slapped him, he would not have let that pass or turn the other cheek as the President Kenyatta would but instead he would have also responded.
Somebody not only wanted to drop a Will Smith-Chris Rock moment at the President but also CS Wamalwa & CS Matiang’i.
We must slap him back to reality of being a Sugoi resident on 9/8/22.

Wamalwa’s confession however backfired with Kenyans on Twitter turning him into a laughing stock. Here are some of their reactions.
“”Eunice WAMALWA” claiming she was almost slapped. We men never slap women. Wewe ni Mumama stick to your lane,” a Twitter user said.
“Kenyans!! They named Eugene as Eunice? Eunice doesn’t know how to throw an uppercut..she just knows the word NOT the action!” another netizen commented.
“Eugene Wamalwa is too feminine to deserve to be threatened with a slap. A weakling whose contribution in this election is just gossip. Mrembo was muchene.”
So William Ruto wanted to slap this Eunice Wamalwa??? https://t.co/1Vlccn6xYL
