President William Ruto has embarked on an aggressive tour of strategic regions in a calculated strategy to market his broad-based government and rally support after a wave of protests.
The president coopted some allies of the opposition leader Raila Odinga including Wycliffe Oparanya, Hassan Joho, John Mbadi, Opiyo Wandayi and Beatrice Askul into his government.
In the last two weeks, President Ruto has traversed over 7 counties in Coast, Mount Kenya and Nyanza regions, moving to assert his influence and also lobby Kenyan’s support for his new Cabinet.
