This comes after some of President Ruto's allies were heckled during his tour of the Mt. Kenya region.

Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi now says President William Ruto has derailed the political careers of Mt Kenya MPs who are allied to him.

In a statement on Saturday, April 5, Amisi opined that the President will abandon the MPs and start working with new aspirants from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s camps who are popular in the region.

“Ruto has successfully buried the political careers of my very wonderful colleagues, MPs, from central allied to him. It is done for all of them. Now he will start working with the new aspirants on the ground who will be popular from wamunyoro and Uhuru camps.

“I warned them, but they didn’t listen. It was an escort tour for them. It happened to Uhuru's handshake mps. History repeats itself,” said Amisi.

His remarks come after President Ruto concluded a 5-day tour of the Mt Kenya region, where he was accompanied by his allies and government officials from the region.
