Instead, President Ruto called for equal treatment of all regions in Kenya, regardless of their population, to ensure balanced national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/kituitimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085687228-1024x732.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085687228-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085687228-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085687228-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085687228-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085687228.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruto&#8217;s statement starkly contrasts with Gachagua&#8217;s stance, highlighting a growing division within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). The president emphasized that equitable distribution is crucial for fostering inclusive growth and development across all parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/kituitimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085694088-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085694088-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085694088-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085694088-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085694088-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1717085694088.jpg 1079w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This public disagreement has further fueled speculation about a deepening rift within the UDA, with factions forming around the two leaders. One camp supports Gachagua&#8217;s population-based revenue sharing, while the other aligns with Ruto&#8217;s call for equal treatment of all regions. The visible discord raises concerns about the unity and future cohesion of the ruling party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Francis Kioko Date 30th May 2024 At the National Prayer Breakfast today at Safari Park Hotel Nairobi,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","category-politics"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg.jpeg",1080,1080,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg-300x300.jpeg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg-768x768.jpeg",640,640,true],"large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg-1024x1024.jpeg",640,640,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg.jpeg",1080,1080,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg.jpeg",1080,1080,false],"morenews-featured":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg-1024x1024.jpeg",1024,1024,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg-825x575.jpeg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jpg-590x410.jpeg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Kambaland Times","author_link":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/author\/kituitimes\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/newsbeat\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Newsbeat<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/politics\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Politics<\/a>","tag_info":"Politics","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1337,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1333\/revisions\/1337"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
