Set aside the broken UhuruRuto bromance, Uhuru-Raila handshake, BBI Chieth, 2022 pork barrel politics, Dr. Ruto is still a deputy/vice-president to someone. Where in the world do you find a deputy with a ‘Uta-Do ? ‘’ attitude towards his boss kama our DP, Dr.Ruto. There is no Co-Presidency in Kenya hata Baba reluctantly accepted that factor after Kibaki successfully showed him the middle finger.

Even a secondary school principal or a village cattle dip caretaker would never let his/her deputy wake up every morning to do what ever he/she likes with impunity. Tiiga Wana captured this attitude better than any one of us since the UhuruRuto Tano-Tena hit political storms. An insubordinate and recalcitrant deputy.

Mimi saa zingine hushangaa na the demeanour of Our current President and Commander- In-Chief of the Armed Forces, the son of Jomo and Mama Ngina. The question I have for Kenyans, would Founding President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, baba wa taifa would have let his Vice-President (DP), Daniel Toiritich Arap Moi to tanga tanga in foreign capitals meeting foreign presidents without his express permission ? Baba wa taifa was known to cane some wayward adults in his cabinet.

Until he gets elected President, DP Ruto should respect the institution of the Presidency and support State protocols.

Why are you promptly ignoring the fact that Ruto and Uhuru won because they had a similar agenda and one without the other wouldn't have won.
Yes Uhuru is president but it's not an ordinary superior-based relationship because Ruto being his vice was not a favour!

Madharau tumeona alionyeshwa but isorait tu coz Kenyans might be humble but definitely not foolish.

@The.Black.Templar,
When you are a Civil Servant or you are employed by the Government (other than a contractor), you have to seek and show Official Clearance at your last Port of Departure (Airport, Seaport or Land Border Point).
Why do you think Ruto called everybody apart from his immediate Official Boss?
where is the policy that says Ruto must call uhuru to travel, he was advised to call head of civil service, which he did according to the excerpts shared above

My friend, I respect your personal perspective. You are totally right that without partnering with Ruto, Uhuru would never have been elected President in 2013. Only a fool would dispute that fact in Kenya. Uhuru is where he is due to the political heavy lifting his running mate did in the election campaigns.

Where I think Ruto and those advising him are mortally wrong is what you said that ‘’ Uhuru is president but it's not an ordinary superior-based relationship because Ruto being his vice was not a favour! ‘’
As far as I know, the nature of the presidency is that Uhuru is superior to Ruto for all intends and purpose in the Presidency !

I think the relationship between President Uhuru and Deputy President Uhuru would be intact if DP understood that once elected, the President has no political co-President. The experiment of UhuruRuto ‘Co-Presidency in their first term was doomed to fail from day one.

Dr. Ruto is a deputy like any other person and in his case, derives his day-to-day powers from delegated powers from the President of the Republic of Kenya and the CIC of the Armed Forces. Period.

Why would you want to keep your immediate and Reporting Officer in the dark that you were travelling abroad unless you wanted to show some disrespect?

can't speculate, 'coz it's open, I could speculate it was ruto courting attention, another reason it could be uhuru personally frustrating ruto, another it could have been itimbi idea, another maybe ni rao alikazia, another could be the plane could have mechanical issues but they failed to disclose to the public. another maybe ruto aliitwa meeting kwa zoom hapo airport which delayed his flight time, another maybe mseveni aliambia ruto ategee Kwanzaa but masaa zikaisha,maybe even ruto alikuwa anatega mpango waendanishe, dame hakutokea
President was out, DP couldn't be out at the same time. There was some delay coz somebody thought they could wait since they had info he was on the way. 5 hours later, no info. The rest could proceed, but one couldn't. Rules are rules, and somebody stuck by them. Kudos.

@Okiya do you see how dangerous such utterances by the likes of Disembe are?
Go on Twitter and see what Jubilee 'bloggers' are already enacting eg

This is uncalled for until there is proof. We are in a civilised society, not a rumour-mongering jungle!
Citizen TV have reported that the Modern fruit investor was accused of terrorism in Germany. Still believing in rumor mongering?

but kwa telly ruto himself has just insisted there are people out to frustrate him, na akasema amewaachia mungu, tune on any citizen brand for the interview. So nobody can really speculate the reason why

This is not the first time Ruto has been out of the country on private business.
Let's not pretend this was an issue about government procedures. Someone is very insecure.
You know there were politicians who were more vocal than Hussein machozi who met their maker unceremoniously and Kenyans went on with their lives.....
