On Friday morning, sources close to President William Ruto revealed that the president sent an unfriendly letter to his aide, Farouk Kibet. This came after Kibet was seen attacking former President Uhuru Kenyatta publicly.
According to reports, on Thursday, Kibet accused Uhuru of undermining President Ruto ahead of the 2027 elections. He also claimed that the former president was using billions allegedly stolen while in office to fund opposition rallies across the country.
Kibet warned that Uhuru’s accounts would be frozen if he continued supporting opposition activities. His strong words caused controversy and angered many, including his boss.
President Ruto responded firmly. The letter demanded that Kibet issue an apology to Uhuru Kenyatta immediately. The president stressed that the former president must be respected as a symbol of national unity.
Ruto also made it clear that he would not tolerate politics of intimidation or threats. He warned that such behavior goes against the values expected from his team and could not be condoned under his leadership.
It remains unclear whether Kibet will apologize or face further consequences. Meanwhile, this incident has sparked widespread discussion across political circles, with many questioning the limits of personal opinions among aides in high office.
