Deputy President William Ruto has issued an update after visiting his party Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi at Nairobi West Hospital on Tuesday evening.
In the statement via Twitter on Wednesday, DP Ruto mentioned that Itumbi was in high spirits though he would be confined in a hospital for one month.
"Spend time with Comrade DI last evening, saw his heavily bandaged arm and legs, the result of torture by people who should have been there to protect him and us all. They have now turned violent & fatalistic after all the negative narratives, threats, and blackmail against us failed," Ruto stated.

"They wanted to kill his spirit, but DI is strong and in very high spirits though doctors say he will be confined to bed for a month. Like Denis, we all must be strong, knowing that in a few months, we will defeat impunity, entitlement, kiburi na madharau, and free our nation for good."
Additionally, the DP issued a message to his compatriot wishing him a quick recovery a few minutes after visiting him.
