KDF denies that Raila saved Ruto from a military coup attempt

KDF denies report that Raila saved Ruto from a military coup attempt Background: On Sunday, March 16, the Nation Media Group published an article quoting Raila Odinga as saying he saved President William Ruto from a military coup. This appears to have been fake news. The Ministry of Defence issued a denial on Monday, March 17, criticizing the Daily Nation for this article. It claimed that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga prevented a military coup against Ruto during the protests against the Finance Bill. A report published in the Sunday Nation newspaper titled "Raila: I saved Ruto from a military coup" and another article in the Sunday Nation titled "How I defeated a coup against Ruto" were rejected by the KDF. KDF described the article as false and misleading. KDF is firmly in Ruto's grasp; a few rails can't change that. KDF immediately pledged its unwavering loyalty to Ruto, the Commander-in-Chief, adding that his duty is to protect the welfare of Kenya.
