It has now emerged Deputy President William Ruto called Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti to report that his life was in danger, prompting the DCI to immediately launch investigation into the grave allegations.

At least four Cabinet secretaries were accused of being part of the elaborate plot to kill the DP who was yet to make a formal complaint against the senior government officials.
