Ex-senator Orwoba links Ruto pinch to Senate fallout

Former nominated senator Gloria Orwoba has claimed that President William Ruto’s viral pinch during a 2024 event was not playful but a reprimand for her criticism of his allies in the Senate. She said the Head of State was angered by her tough stance against Kimani Kuria, who was spearheading the controversial tax plan, and accused her of being “too tough” in their Senate WhatsApp group.
