🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Speaking in Kitale during the Memorial Service for Kenya's 8th Vice President, the late Michael Kijana Wamalwa,  Kenyatta reiterated he had no interest in returning to politics after his 10-year tenure as Head of State.

According to the former president, he is not sponsoring opposition to Ruto, stating that it is the people themselves who will decide who to vote for.

It's the people who will decide. If they say it is Kalonzo, Ruto, Matiang'i, or Sifuna, it will be so. I don't want to be called a sponsor; I have just said the power belongs to the people," Kenyatta stated.
