President William Ruto and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua continue to trade barbs over Ruto's development tour of Western Kenya, which drew criticism from Gachagua.  Speaking in Busia on Thursday, January 23, Ruto dismissed leaders he described as corrupt, incompetent and tribal, saying they had no place in Kenya's leadership. "Those removed because of incompetence, corruption and tribalism now want to lecture us on Kenya's direction.

There is no room for such individuals," Ruto said.

Ruto stated that Kenya was for all citizens, vowing to stand firm against divisive politics. "This Kenya is not a country of shares; it is for all Kenyans.

We have built a government that unites everyone," Ruto added.
