A human rights advocacy group is urging President William Ruto to clarify the roles of Dennis Itumbi and Farouk Kibet, suggesting that their actions have damaged the reputation of the presidency.
This call comes after comments from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who alleged that the government is essentially being run by Kibet, the President's long-time personal assistant, and Itumbi, who heads Presidential Special Projects and the Creative Economy.
David Koros, the President of the Institute of Human Rights (IHR), stressed that it is important for the President to publicly address the roles of these two individuals, whose past associations are considered troubling. "The two individuals have a disturbing past, having been linked to the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
It is concerning that they are key players in the current administration.
