'Do your worst!' Ruto launches brazen attack on Gideon Moi's Standard Group

President William Ruto has accused Standard Group owner Gideon Moi of attempting to blackmail him through persistent negative media coverage targeting his administration. In an explosive tweet published on June 24, Ruto launched a brazen attack on Standard Group, accusing the media house of using negative headlines to allegedly blackmail his administration. In the rather curt statement posted on his official X account, Ruto claimed that what he described as “five days a week” of critical headlines and negative coverage of his government would not force him to give in to what he termed greed and extortion.
