We want an independent judiciary.
Independent police, DPP and EACC.
What difference would it make for Uhuru to capture Judiciary and then Ruto to also do the same
Except kill institutions.
And soon we are back to Moi era.
My friend we want a kenya for everyone. We have been there with Moi. Every kalenjin by time Moi was leaving was pretty tired and drained. Even kikuyus now are pretty tired and drained - it useless if other kenyans are not happy - and all they do is hate on you even if you never met Uhuru or Moi or Kibaki - and worse for Kikuyus to be hunted like stray dogs for mistake you did not commit. The average kikuyus did not participate in any rigging - but people hunted them.
We want a new kenya. Non tribal kenya. We want Ruto to play by the rule book.
This is why in 1K1Ms crap - many people even if they were benefitting - said to hell - we want kenya to develop in all it's corners.
If Ruto cannot deliver without killing judiciary then he should go back to Sugoi and sell his chicken.
If Ruto want to develop kenya - let it be everywhere - if it's road - every const should get equal kilometres - if it's electricity the same - water the same - if it's money for SMES - everyone get equal share.
once you do that - you will realize kenya HAKUNA MATATA kabisa.And come 2027 - Ruto will win re-election by 90 percent.
But behave like Kibaki - even if economy grow by 10% every year - you will be hated and your people hated.
Leading to 2017 elections I advocated for UhuRuto to capture JSC and LSK , I was very vocal about it . The outcome was cancellation of the 2017 G.E. which almost took Kenya to the dogs and had a huge Impact to the Economy of Kenya.
When RV pundit was cheering Koome I was already advocating for Ruto to ensure Judiciary is not captured by Handshake partners.
Its not a secret Koome was sneaked in by Uhuru cronies and Ouko through Railas lobbying..
Now going back to Pre 2017 elections . Raila managed to capture JSC which inturn put Maraga and Mwilu as CJ and DCJ . They paid back in the petetion. So to answer your question , Politics plays in both LSK , JSC and Judiciary. As a Presidential contender you have to be able to play the politics there too.
