The Standardย reported that Ruto madeย his first public appearance after Tuesday’s, January 14, Cabinet reshuffle, when Kenyatta fired his allyย Mwangi Kiunjuri,ย as the president held a press conference on the state of security in the country.

Some of the leaders that Uhuru has met in the region include governors,ย Interior CSย Fred Matiang’i, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI)ย George Kinotiย and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP)ย Noordin Haji.

On Friday, January 17, Kenyatta deliveredย a speech on insecurity, reiterating his fight againstย Al-Shabab terrorists.

Upon his arrival from Sudan, Ruto travelled to Taita Taveta where he metย the area leaders aligned to Jubilee, as he steppedย up the bid to wrestle Coast from ODM leaderย Raila Odinga, and at the same time consolidate support ahead of his party’s March 2020 elections.

This is the second time Ruto metย the leaders after heย flew to Taita Tavetaย onย Friday, January 10, withย the same agenda. Taveta MPย Naomi Shabanย was among the attendees at the meeting.

During the event on Friday, January 17, Ruto called upon politicians and leaders to preach peace and unity.

“Leaders have the duty of preaching unity in our country, working together to empower the people, and, crucially, aligning their thought process in the championing of the needs of Kenyans.

“We have laid down a strong foundation besides initiating programmes and policies that would transform our country; these will eradicate poverty in Kenya and create thousands of employment opportunities for our youths,” he added.
