Uhuru feared William Ruto months before the August general elections according to former Raila’s chief agent Saitabao Ole Kanchory.
Even though he was in charge of the government and security forces, former president Uhuru Kenyatta reportedly feared William Ruto months before the election.
The revelations were made by Saitabao Ole Kanchory, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s chief agent in the 2022 General Election, in his memoir Why Baba Is Not The 5th.
Kanchory alleged in the book, which was published on April 11, that Uhuru often froze in fear due to his deputy.
He, however, didn’t offer any hypothetical situations to support his claims.
“For some undisclosed reasons, Uhuru Kenyatta – even as the President – literally feared William Ruto. I am talking about real fear – the kind that causes one to freeze, flee or fight. Uhuru froze.
Kanchory who is also a lawyer described Ruto as a methodical schemer who would only be outsmarted with similar countermeasures – a move that the former Head of State could not pull off.
“Fear is a debilitating and paralyzing force. This is why fear not is emphasized more than anything else in the Bible,” read the book in part.
Kanchory added that Ruto was deeply rooted in the deep state, contrary to the belief among Raila’s allies and Kenyans.
Notably, Ruto had dismissed the influence of the deep state and the system before the elections.

Raila’s chief agent in the August 9 polls also asserted that Uhuru only controlled the shallow, deep state and a dysfunctional system – which could not guarantee a win for Raila Odinga.
“Amid the talk of the deep state and the system, we forgot that if one existed and it did, there must also be a shallow state that any system can fail or break.
“All in all, Baba’s plan to win the elections fair and square, was a gravely flawed plan considering he had tried this plan four times before and it didn’t work,” he stated.
On the other hand, he echoed that Raila was not part of Uhuru’s government and only depended on the goodwill of his ally despite the famous March 9, 2018 handshake.
