[li]Deputy President William Ruto was on Monday, August 2, reportedly blocked from leaving the country and flying to Uganda via the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).[/li]
[li][ATTACH=full]377464[/ATTACH][/li]Local media quoted the DP’s spokesperson, David Mugonyi, indicating that Ruto was stopped by the security team at JKIA and asked for clearance from Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua.
His entourage -which included Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro was, however, cleared to board the commercial flight to Entebbe International Airport.
Digital Strategist Denis Itumbi, an associate of the DP, told [I]Kenyans.co.ke[/I] that the requirement was suspect as the Deputy President had never been required to seek clearance since taking office in 2013.
Itumbi further indicated that the trip was private and had nothing to do with his official duties.
Senior civil servants are legally bound to seek travel clearance when leaving the country - although it is not clear whether the DP is subject to the requirement.

[/ul] [I]Weche Mogik[/I] This is the strangest Government arrangement. So the DP is leaving the country without the President’s knowledge???
You guys out there, can you travel out of the country without letting your boss know? Is it possible that the President knew
but Kinyua is not aware? I doubt it. Something must be seriously wrong in the DP’s head, assuming he answers to nobody!
Hata kwa job everyone needs clearance from the CEO to make trips. Also a DP should only make foreign trips only when assigned or sent by his boss to go represent the country on his behalf. That is how diplomatic protocol works. Hata wewe it would be wrong for you to host and entertain your neighbours wife.
I don’t understand Uhuru, the main reason why handshake happen was to prevent the country from falling into civil war but after four years we are back to square one. This guy is very incompetent and careless
Hata kule yunared states kamala Harris can’t just go tangatangaring in mexico, or Russia etc without authority and clearance from the state department and Biden.
Good.
Public servants are public servants
If he cant show how his trip will help the PUBLIC, he should resign and travel as he wishes to further his personal interests.
With the level of current political temperature and considering its a whole year to election, it’s not hard to see the election will be hotly contested and will probably end with violence
Nakumbuka wakati wa ICC walitwambia Uhuru haezi toka Kenya na pia Ruto atoke. They even made a big show of having Ruto sitting in Uhuru’s office as he left for ICC. Siku hizi Uhunye hujipa shughuli after three days ndio mnaambiwa ata hayuko Kenya. Kwani Ruto haachiangwi mafunguo ya ofisi siku hizi?
