President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday made a surprise visit to Deputy President William Ruto’s Annex office at Harambee House, Nairobi.
Uhuru strolled from his Harambee house office to DP Ruto’s without any signal leaving staff especially close aides of Ruto in panic.
Uhuru’s visits comes in the wake of a heightened purge on corruption where the DP is under siege over alleged links to corruption cartels fleecing millions from public coffers
It was not clear the the purpose of visit and at the time Ruto had just arrived from his Karen office engaging with American Ambassador

According to the MPs, who identify themselves as #TeamKenya, the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga has exposed the real theft of public funds.
Siaya Senator James Orengo has announced that he is willing to sponsor an impeachment motion against Deputy President William Ruto.
Speaking during an event in Ugenya, Orengo mentioned that Dr Ruto can be shown the door if it is found that he has violated the Constitution or any other law.
He noted that Article 150 of the Constitution can be used to throw out DP Ruto.
“I want to repeat here and now that the Senate together with the National Assembly, we want to bring a motion of impeachment to kick out DP Ruto from office,” Orengo asserted.
The impeachment has been criticized by a section of Jubilee Mps allied to the Deputy President, who now claim opposition leader Raila Odinga is hiding behind the purported ouster to take over the Deputy President position.
