You work with what you have - not what you wish.
Kidero and Migori former governor are perhaps the only Luos who can stand up against Raila and survive - thuggery and all that.
Migori is a thug - so Raila cant take thugs to him
KIdero is also a thug - and very wealthy - and very arrogant - raila cant tell him nothing.
The last Luo to challenge Raila was one KANU mayor Oyile or something - he had Baghdad boys that send Raila from Kisumu to Kibera.
Raila brought his violence to Nairobi having been defeated by some Kisumu mayor /councillor.
Luo politics plus siaya and part of western is very very violent;
Politicians hire gangs;crooks; it violence after violence;
Odingas have made them thing violence is good.
In Kalenjin if a politician engage in base insults or violence - he will not be voted. Isaac Ruto was only violent kalenjin politician in my recent memory. Only Raila type who employ goons. He was in 82 coup with Khawale and Raila - these former student leaders - kalenjin huwezi make. You better be a christian humble man.
There is time for war - rare times - but in peaceful times people expect politicians to come humbly and beg votes.
Sabotaging his so called revolution. Like Njamba said, the hustler revolution is still born, dead on arrival. The fact that Ruto is willing to embrace these two, guys who are supposed to be in prison is very disappointing. These two are nothing, they do not bring any votes to Ruto except their baggage. I was hoping, mostly against my own instincts that Ruto was going to be a revolutionary leader, new ideas, new players. It’s the same old political formula he learned from Moi, catastrophic failure.
