Disagreements 

It remains unclear whether the DP will voice his support for the proposed reforms during the Bomas launch.

Dr Ruto is uncomfortable with the proposals for the establishment of an expanded Executive, complete with a Prime Minister, two deputies and the Leader of Opposition.

He has warned against what he described as an attempt to force the document to Kenyans.

The DP said: “This reggae bravado must stop because we need to an honest conversation that is all-inclusive in the country.”
