Ruto's Shift in Stance
President William Ruto has made a surprising move by befriending the 'Dynasties', a group of influential Kenyan leaders from families with a history of holding top positions.
Ruto had previously criticized this group during his 2022 campaign, referring to them as a "powerful gang" consisting of families like the Kenyattas, Mois, and Odingas.
