A recent event involving President William Ruto and former Nandi Hills Member of Parliament Alfred Keter has sparked controversy and speculation. Alfred Keter, known for his outspoken criticism of President Ruto, has made headlines by presenting the president with three ultimatums following a public address they both attended with youths. This comes after Keter’s recent arrest and subsequent release after questioning by DCI officers. Keter’s bold statement demanding Ruto’s resignation has added fuel to the already tense political atmosphere in the Rift Valley region.

President Ruto, on the other hand, had just addressed the nation outlining various austerity measures his government plans to implement. These measures include merging state parastatals and reducing the number of government advisors by half. Despite the anticipation of a cabinet reshuffle prior to the address, Ruto did not make any changes to his cabinet. He did, however, mention that he would only remove Cabinet Secretaries who are facing legal charges, hinting at a possible future shake-up in his administration.

The ongoing political drama between President Ruto and Alfred Keter highlights the deep divisions and power struggles within the Rift Valley political landscape. Keter’s bold demands for Ruto’s resignation, coupled with the president’s announcement of austerity measures, set the stage for a potentially turbulent period in Kenyan politics. As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on how President Ruto responds to Keter’s ultimatums and whether he will take any action against his critics within the government.
