The opposition has received a major political shot in the arm with the return of former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle against President William Ruto.
Matiang’i—a powerful figure in then President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government—landed quietly on Thursday night after disengaging from his role at the World Bank to concentrate in his presidential ambition.
