President William Ruto is not holding back. In a fresh public attack, he has called out retired President Uhuru Kenyatta directly, accusing him of betraying a political agreement the two men had made and of misleading other leaders in the process.
The remarks land at a charged moment. Tensions between the two former allies are clearly building, and with the 2027 elections already casting a long shadow over Kenyan politics, this kind of open confrontation signals that the gloves are fully off.
Ruto's message to his predecessor was blunt: step aside and stop playing games. Whether Kenyatta responds publicly or works quietly behind the scenes, one thing is clear. The friendship that once defined Kenyan politics has curdled into something far more combustible, and 2027 is still a long way away.
