Ruto worked so hard and he was betrayed on first day by Uhuru.
Betrayal is constant in politics.
In fact I remember toying with idea of Ruto doing a mevdev -putin with Uhuru but obviously Uhuru wont have accepted.
Trust in politics is non-existent.
Ruto is very luckly because he cannot be fired as DPORK;
Otherwise right now Gideon Moi would be DPORK and being pushed for PORK;
Now let move to Poor Kaloi.
He clearly has trust issues with almost everyone.
He feel Ruto betrayed him in 2007 by backing Raila.
Uhuru and Ruto betrayed him in KKK despite shuttle diplomacy and other crap.
Raila has betrayed him thrice now - 2013, 2017 and 2022 by-passed for DPORK.
So he has to figure out how to deal with it.
My suggestion - take only a position that makes you hard to be fired.
First take one of speakers - esp NA speaker - gov cannot function with a hostile speaker.
Then take Chief CS.
Only that is possible in run-off scenario when his value will improve drastically. Right now he is of low value like you say. Work hard for run-off. Either through ballot or supreme court.
Come on.... What TRUST issues!! Even you are onto this fallacy. The fact of the matter is that Raila never became President and therefore had no agreement that he reneged on.
Those exist only in his fertile mind. He said he will deal with Uhuru, has Uhuru fixed those so called TRUST issues for him?? He is so entitled it is unbelievable... what is that he keeps saying he has sacrificed?? Even Uhuru is tired of his unrealistic demands.
He has ran before and he knows how that went. Even now, he keeps putting out a threat to run, but he clearly knows he is headed nowhere... it is a joke.
Instead of scouring the ground canvassing for votes, he is busy in his entitled paneled office making demands. He is the laziest amongst all these fellows surpassed only by Mudavadi, then Wetangula. They are freeloaders.
Martha is doing 100x better than he would have were he the running mate. She is exciting the base and the undecided.... the best he does is cause chaos.
