A vocal Tanga Tanga MP has finally opened up on why Deputy President Dr William Ruto has been silent when President Uhuru Kenyatta continues to dewhip his close allies.

The Kimilili Constituency MP Didmus Barasa has this morning taken to social media to answer the question many Kenyans have been asking.

According to the lawmaker, Tanga Tanga as a team operate on a philosophy of never and or not interrupting their enemies when they are making mistakes, and that they get more use from their enemies than from their friends.

The MP went ahead to reveal that Ruto’s camp is studying their enemy’s strength, weakness and intentions, which Tanga Tanga will use to inform their next point of action.

“People have been asking why @WilliamsRuto is silent when his allies are being clipped . As a team we operate on a philosophy of never and or not interrupting our enemies when they are making mistakes and that we get more use from our enemies than from our friends. We are studying their strength, weakness and intentions to inform our next point of action. We are not boarding,” he posted.

DP Ruto’s close allies, the Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen and his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika were recently removed from their senate posts, as Senate Majority leader and Majority Whip respectively.

Murkomen’s position was then filled by KANU’s Samuel Poghisio, with Kihika having her position filled by Murang’a senator Irungu Kang’ata.

Days later, Ruto-allied nominated senators received letters from Jubilee, demanding them to explain why they snubbed President Kenyatta’s Parliamentary Group meeting at State House.

Their are other looming changes targeting DP Ruto’s allies in the National Assembly, but the DP is still mum on the issue.

Ruto on Monday May 18 however, broke his silence through the Standard newspaper. The DP while replying to his political enemies said, “I will not be provoked into a fight with President Uhuru Kenyatta,” and asked his supporters not to play into the hands of their rivals.

Reportedly, the DP further went ahead and said, “In war, you don’t show your enemies all the arsenal; you will lose. You must retreat and study how far they can go and strategize on how to counter.”

Unlike him, Dr Ruto has publicly avoided commenting on the coup staged during a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting chaired by President Kenyatta, the party leader.

The deputy party leader snubbed the meeting, held at State House last Monday, and has reportedly advised his allies to avoid any confrontation with the president.
