On Monday, Deputy President William Ruto sent out a birthday message to President Uhuru Kenyatta wishing him good health, and a long life.
What stood out from his message was the fact that he referred to Uhuru as his friend and boss, despite the many instances where they have thrown unpleasant words against one another, indirectly.
“Happy birthday to my friend and boss HE. Uhuru Kenyatta. May God almighty grant you good health and long life,” tweeted DP Ruto.
Happy birthday to my friend and boss HE. Uhuru Kenyatta. May God almighty grant you good health and long life.

That message is too short. When you mean your words, you are always longer in your writing, pretense?? Anyway, happy birthday to Ruto's former friend Uhunye.

May he live long to our hustler nation prosperous. We are planning our strategic plans of stopping this malicious job creator machine called BBI. Hustler nation there is peace, unity, justice, no corruption, no tribalism and youth empowerment.
