Journalists from various media houses were on Thursday asked to leave Deputy President William Ruto's Karen office.
Daily Nation reported that the scribes, who had gone to cover a press briefing by the DP condemning female genital mutilation, were told to leave after some of them started asking questions about the alleged plot to murder him.
The DP was reluctant to respond to the queries that reporters were bombarding him with, over the alleged assassination plot that is currently under investigation by DCI.
"DP Ruto refuses to field questions from journalists on the alleged plot to assassinate him; security officers order scribes to leave his Karen office," Daily Nation posted on Facebook.
Kenyans have been eager to hear what the DP has to say regarding the story that continues to unfold.
Ruto's ally and Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen had also tried to speak to the DP about the saga but was equally dismissed.
Murkomen was speaking during an interview with Citizen TV's Jeff Koinange where the JKLive host asked whether the legislator had spoken to the DP about the saga.
"You spoke to him today (Wednesday)? Was he worried, was he concerned?" Jeff posed.
"When I asked him, what is this story that you're being sought by DCI and so forth, he said 'no no no those are other issues' you know the way he usually does," Murkomen told Jeff while trying to imitate DP Ruto.
"I am now of age, I'm above 40 years so I still saw that his body language is that of a person who is concerned," the senator continued.
