President William Ruto is set to embark on a whirl wind tour of the Mt Kenya region starting Tuesday, six months after the ouster of his former Deputy Rigathi Gachagua.

His visit to the region comes at a time when the ‘Ruto must go’ chants have characterised public gatherings.  the growing chants have the   security apparatus worried  National Intelligence Service (NIS) boss Noordin Haji and the Chief of Defence Forces Charles kahariri warning that the slogan must be done within the confines of the Constitution.

Speaking on Thursday at a lecture at the National Intelligence and Research University in Nairobi, the duo delved into the political unraveling urging the public and Ruto’s critics to be tolerant to the government of the day and not condemn the country to “anarchy”.
