A secretary to one of Deputy President William Ruto’s aides has triggered a storm with women staff at Harambee House Annex commonly referred to as Annex B. Why? The woman is ever present in the Deputy President’s foreign trips. In fact, she is said to have become a permanent feature even on trips by Ruto’s wife Rachel Ruto. Surprisingly, even the DP’s own secretaries do not attend these foreign trips. Questions are now being asked on what basis are the trips being dished out? Is there favouritism?

The County boss says the majority of the voters are seen as outsiders. He is said to be concentrating on friendly ethnic wards.
