“In efforts to heal the 2007/2008 post-election wounds, TNA resolved that the deputy president slot should go to a member of the Rift Valley community, now that Uhuru Kenyatta had secured the president’s slot,” Murathe said.
He went on to say that Should DP Ruto had resigned from government after his fall out with President Uhuru Kenyatta, the ruling Jubilee party had settled on Eugine Wamalwa to replace him.
“The president was hoping he could replace Ruto with Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, but the deputy president did not resign as we’d expected,” Murathe stated.
