President William Ruto made a significant entry into Mt Kenya yesterday, despite concerns that his development tour in the politically challenging region might trigger protests.
The choice of Laikipia County as the starting point for his five-day tour was noteworthy, especially following the 'Nyahururu Declaration' made by a group of politicians from the area months earlier after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was ousted.
This declaration saw several regional leaders rally behind Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, positioning him as the liaison between the region and the national government.
During his visit, President Ruto appeared calm and well-supported.
