Days after a leaked audio clip of the Deputy President William Ruto admitting that he nearly slapped the President in 2017 after the nullification of election results by the Supreme Court, there is yet another revelations to be known.

At this point, it feels like just about everyone has had something to say about DP Ruto's slap. 

Responses to the situation have varied, with some chastising the Deputy President and others coming to his defense. 

Defense Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has become one of the latest to share thoughts on how he almost  encountered a slap from Ruto four years ago.

CS Wamalwa recalled an incident happened  at State House at the time he was holding the devolution docket when he led a delegation of leaders from Western  region.

But what was the reason behind the predicted slap that almost got him unaware, Wamalwa claimed that that Ruto did not want the meeting to happen because he was not informed.

“ Ruto was furious and demanded my resignation. He wanted me to explain why I had taken leaders to meet President Uhuru Kenyatta without his permission” the CS Wamalwa said.

The CS  recounted that the DP also confronted his Interior  CS Dr Fred Matiang'i after his State responsibilities were stripped off.

Earlier, after accepting to have nearly slapped Uhuru, Ruto opened up on a tense meeting with the Head of State which nearly turned physical.

According to Ruto, Uhuru was not keen on fighting for the second term following the Supreme Court’s decision and had even considered retiring to his Ichaweri home.

Replying to this, President Uhuru Kenyatta broke his silence on the claims admitting that indeed Deputy President William Ruto almost slapped him.

The President said if that was the case, he would have turned the other cheek for the DP to slap as the country's peace mattered more than power.

Uhuru told a meeting with the clergy that he was ready to quit after the Supreme Court nullified his election "if that would end the political crisis that ensued then".

An outsider in his own government, Ruto has encountered several hurdles in his bid to succeed his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta, including losing some of his allies from key parliamentary and party positions.

This has, however, neither slowed down nor stopped his grand march to State House.
