Why is it so hard for William Ruto, Uhuru Kenyatta to talk on phone?

"A phone call? What phone call? There is nothing like that," an MP allied to Ruto but who did not want their identity revealed because they are not authorised to divulge details about the president-elect, said.

Ruto's spokesman Emmanuel Talam said he was not in a position to know if the two leaders had been in touch.
