This publication reports on the onslaught that Deputy President William Ruto is currently facing from the pro-handshake team and the internal rivalry in his own camp which could sabotage his 2022 presidential bid.
Ruto held a high-level crisis meeting on Monday, March 22, at his Karen residence to stem a possible fallout in his Tanga Tanga camp.
The deputy president's allies in Western Kenya such as former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa, MPs John Waluke and Charles Gimose are said to be unhappy in the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
Similarly, in the vote-rich Mount Kenya region, key Ruto point men are hesitant to engage in any political activities under UDA out of fear of being rejected by the locals.
Pro-handshake leaders, Raila Odinga (ODM), Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), Moses Wetang'ula (Ford Kenya), Charity Ngilu (Narc) and Gideon Moi (KANU) have all vowed to diminish Ruto's influence in the country and restrict him to his Rift Valley region.

According to Taifa Leo, thousands of Kenyans are at great risk of dying from the third wave of COVID-19 which is now characterised by the new and deadly strain of the virus.
The situation is even worsened by the high medical fees that medical facilities are asking for treatment of coronavirus.
Many hospitals treating patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) have tripled their medical fees and most Kenyans at the grassroots cannot afford such hefty charges.
For instance, The Nairobi Hospital is asking for KSh 600,000 while the Kenyatta National Hospital fees staggers at KSh 200,000.
