President Rutto has vowed to strengthen ties with Baba!

President William Ruto has vowed to strengthen his ties with Raila Odinga noting it is in the best interest of the country.

Speaking in Homabay when he commissioned the Oyugis water project, Ruto explained that Raila’s decision to support him deliver on his mandate is rooted in their past political relations.

He told the residents that he once played a vital role in backing him in his political ambition.

“You know I was once his foot soldier, and you know there was a time I once helped him, so if Baba returns a hand to help me, is there any problem?” he posed.

Ruto was among the key leaders who supported Raila in his presidential candidature in the 2007 general election.

Underscoring the importance of the newfound relations, Ruto said they have wholly agreed to support him in his quest for the African Union Commission chairmanship seat.

He also unveiled the secretariat that will spearhead the campaigns.
