President William Ruto has nominated and appointed five key political figures from Mt. Kenya region, most of them allies of former President Uhuru Kenyatta. The appointments come just ten days after a highly publicised meeting of the two leaders at the former president’s home in Ichaweri. Ruto’s picks appear as a strategy to soften the hostility in the region, touching five counties with some figures that were key in backing Kenyatta in campaigning for Raila Odinga of the Azimio coalition.
