Deputy President William Ruto has broken his silence over the dramatic events at the Wilson Airport on Monday, August 2 that saw him blocked from leaving the country.
In an interview on
Inooro FM on Wednesday, August 4, the Deputy President - although evasive - detailed the intrigues behind his aborted trip to Kampala.
Ruto said the decision to deny him authority to leave the country was politically instigated following the emergent leadership differences between him and pro-President Uhuru Kenyatta allies.
He argued that the President allies acted maliciously and are out to frustrate and humiliate him as a person and holder of the office of the Deputy President.

The Senate Wednesday urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to, as a matter of urgency, mobilise resources and rehabilitation materials for various communities in Benue State recently affected by a devastating windstorm which destroyed hundreds of buildings, leaving many residents injured and homeless.
The upper chamber at plenary also urged relevant government agencies to support the rebuilding of all the affected public buildings, while urging relevant government agencies to go to Benue south senatorial district to sensitise the people on measures to protect themselves and their properties.
These resolutions were sequel to the adoption of a motion sponsored by Senator Abba Moro (Benue South), who expressed sadness at the extent of destruction inflicted on lives, public and private properties by a windstorm which swept through Ogbadibo and Okpokwu communities in the state.
