Kenya’s deputy president was on Monday made to wait for clearance for hours before he was stopped from flying to neighbouring Uganda.
William Ruto was set to attend to private matters in Uganda when Kenyan immigration officers said he needed to get clearance from the government.
Recently, he has had a frosty relationship with government officials.
Mr Ruto in July visited Uganda on a private trip and was pictured with President Yoweri Museveni.
