President Ruto has for the first time appeared to speak about the rising political tensions within his camp in a bid to relax the disunity that is forming within UDA.
Speaking during Madaraka Day in a not so obvious approach, the President Ruto warned leaders close to him against engaging in ethnic and tribal politics that have dominated Kenya for the longest time causing tensions within UDA.

“Kenya has no room for tribal or ethnic-based politics. We will never return to the politics of ethnicity or personality. We will never revert to a politics where people are not at the centre.”
The President’s remarks come barely days after his Deputy claimed that there are people close to President Ruto that are focused on causing divisions within the Mt Kenya region.
“Some few politicians who are around the President want to meddle with Mt Kenya politics to fight me. Mt Kenya politics are so complicated and what we hate is betrayal,” Gachagua noted fiercely.
Ruto’s sentiments appeared to be directed at Gachagua who has accused Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen of backing MP Ndindi Nyoro in a move aimed at unseating Gachagua in 2027.
However, Gachagua during the celebrations of Madaraka day in Bungoma noted that he had no issues with the President but individuals close to him and he is committed to help President Ruto deliver his promises to kenyans.
