Wednesday December 19, 2018-Deputy President William Ruto is without doubt one of the successful politicians in Kenya today.

Apart from being as astute politician, Ruto is a wealthy businessman with interests in various sectors of the economy. His rise from a roadside chicken seller to a multi-billionaire that he is today after only a few years has attracted the attention of the public. Ruto’s controversial acquisition of immense wealth has even left the EACC, DCI and DPP baffled with some Opposition legislators calling for him to be probed. However, what is more disturbing is Ruto’s interest in the lucrative tender to supply new police uniforms, a tender that has set him against Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiangi. Speaking yesterday without naming Ruto directly, Matiangi revealed that a certain politician wanted in on the multi-billion tender to import new police uniforms at the expense of local textile industries but vowed that will not happen under his watch. “Listen to me very carefully.” “We will not import police uniforms, go and write another 10 headlines.” “We will not import police uniforms from any country.” “We have to promote the local textile industry,” stated Matiangi. It was reported that Ruto asked the CS to award the tender to his people after it was reported that the National Youth Service (NYS) ran out of the required fabric.
