A dramatic scene unfolded recently when Farouk Kibet, a close ally of President William Ruto, allegedly slapped Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki in public. The incident reportedly occurred after Kindiki urged President Ruto to release abducted children to their families, sparking a heated confrontation.
Sources indicate that Kindiki had publicly voiced concerns over the mysterious disappearances of several children, urging the government to take swift action to reunite them with their families. His remarks, seen as a direct appeal to the President, were reportedly not well received by Kibet, who interpreted them as undermining the administration.
Eyewitnesses claim that during a high-level meeting, Kibet confronted Kindiki over his comments, accusing him of tarnishing the government's image. The exchange quickly escalated, culminating in Kibet allegedly slapping the Interior CS in front of stunned onlookers.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many questioning the conduct of Kibet, a prominent figure in Ruto’s inner circle. Critics argue that such actions reflect poorly on the administration and highlight internal tensions within the government.
Kindiki, known for his composed demeanor, has yet to publicly address the incident. However, insiders suggest that the altercation has deepened rifts within the ruling coalition, with some leaders rallying behind Kindiki’s call for accountability.
This incident underscores the growing public demand for transparency and justice regarding the abducted children. As the nation watches closely, it remains to be seen how the government will navigate this controversy and address the underlying issues fueling tensions at the highest levels of leadership.
The incident has further ignited debates on governance, accountability, and the limits of political loyalty in Kenya’s volatile political landscape.
