The Song Ihinda Riakinya is often used to depict one who is in a difficult situation while Wi Ngai Mahindu is one that ushers one trust in God in difficult moments.

"You are God all the time, that's what I know, my tower that I look upon, I give my heart to you as a holy sacrifice, I wait upon you," a phrase in Wi Ngai Mahindu songs reads in part. 

The move to post the songs has raised concerns about whether the CS is being fought in Ruto's cabinet.

CS Kuria, a man who has been in the limelight for controversial reasons, has been in the eye of the storm lately amidst calls from a section n of Kenyans to have him kicked out of office.

DP Gachagua last month slammed CS Kuria and Ruto's economic adviser David Ndii for being insensitive to the situation of Kenyans following their remarks on the cost of fuel.

However, even though the DP would later clear the air that there were no divisions between him and CS Kuria, the body language of the two leaders has been depicting a simmering tension. 

Not once or twice, CS Kuria fired salvos on his X platform whose apparent target was Gachagua but would later delete, exacerbating the belief that he was after the second in command in his attack.
