Ruto tours Kiambu amid local political showdown

Local politics took centre stage during President William Ruto’s tour of Kiambu, as supporters of rival leaders engaged in heckling matches. Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi traded tactful barbs with Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungwa, as each tried to outdo the other on their respective performance records. President William Ruto steered clear of the local showdown, instead targeting the opposition, whom he accused of petty politics.
