Uhuru laughs off ‘sponyo’ tag as allies defend former president

Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has laughed off the ‘sponyo’ tag that President William Ruto has repeatedly used against him in recent weeks. Speaking in Murang’a County, Kenyatta appeared to jokingly embrace the label, even as he kept his remarks away from politics. But some of the opposition leaders who accompanied the former president came to his defence, pushing back against what they described as a sustained political attack. Emmanuel Too reports.
