You owe Ruto,pay back the debt-president Uhuru told

President Uhuru Kenyatta has no choice other than to back his deputy William Ruto in 2022, a section of Rift Valley leaders have said.

Mr. Ruto has geared up his campaigns to succeed Uhuru, with a section of his handlers reading mischief in handshake between the president and opposition leader Raila Odinga.

Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, Governor Stephen Sang and vocal Senate Majority Leader said Ruto deserves the President's support because he 'stood with him during trial moment'.

"We are reading a lot in newspapers. Ruto backed your unconditionally in 2013 and 2017. Kindly reciprocate the same in 2022," Murkomen said at Kapsabet on Sunday.

Mr. Sang added: "You Excellency you said that you'll take your ten years then Ruto. We are hopeful that you will not betray your own statements."

Squabbles have rocked Jubilee party from within after the handshake with a section of leaders allied to the president's team accusing Ruto of distabilizing the country through early campaigns.

Kikuyu Council of Elders are quoted having said that Ruto should retire along with the president in 2022 since 'he would have served two terms'.

During the event, a cautious Kenyatta urged elected leaders to shift their attention in developing their respective regions.

"Newspapers will write anything but as leaders, let's focus on developing out regions. These people are hopeful that we shall deliver them from poverty."

For the better part of Monday, the two leaders camped in Bomet County where they officially commissioned KCC in Sotik, Bomet University and inauguration of Lake Region Economic Bloc expo.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
