Shock as Kitui UDA Allies Snubbed in PS Shortlist
Kitui County’s political landscape was shaken as none of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) loyalists from the region made it to President William Ruto’s shortlist for Principal Secretary positions. The exclusion has sparked tension among local UDA supporters, who had hoped for representation in the government’s senior appointments.
Leaders and residents in Kitui South, a stronghold of Ruto’s campaign during the last general election, expressed frustration, terming the move as a blow to their loyalty. Analysts suggest the snub could signal a shift in political priorities or reflect internal party dynamics.
The President is yet to comment on the matter, but pressure is mounting for explanations as political temperatures rise in Kitui.
If Kalonzo joins Ruto’s government, you will see a lot of appointments for CS and PS. For now, it is evident that president Ruto has no time for his UDA courtjesters in Kitui County. None whatsoever. These fellows should just go and beg Kalonzo to join serikali. It’s that painful truth!
