Evidence shows Ruto is now fighting back.
He has, using his proxies taken it to Uhuru's doorstep:
1. Named locations where Uhuru is hiding toxic sugar and other contraband
2. Caused his trucks to be impounded while transporting contraband sugar
3. Offered to face a "Lifestyle Audit" ahead of everyone else but asked all public officers to line up behind him
I think he knows Uhuru will flunk such an audit - if it is ever held with any degree of credibility.
Those are sideshows. Both would fail any credible lifestyle audit starting from 2013. Ruto is banking on starting with Jomo knowing very well by the time we get to him it will be 2099.
The problem is Kenyans know there is runaway corruption in the country and now Uhuru wants to display Ruto as the main culprit. Uhuru and his cronies have looted a tenfold of what Ruto and his crude cronies have looted since 2013.
if Uhuru fails to get rid of him within the next 3 months, Ruto will get rid of Uhuru faster than he can wipe his asshole.
You are over estimating ruto...uhuru is going to chocke Somali billionaires. once they shift their money to uhuru ..ruto will be cash strapped..in 2 years his empire will collapse like the alliance hotels..this Putin vs Russian Luke oil oligarchs
Remember kalenjins displaced 300k kikuyus..no community will do such a thing to vengeful gema and go free...you are in for some balls smashing season of political blood letting
Muthaura is in kra...that is one of the pillars uhuru will use this kill off ruto rebellion
The strategy to make Ruto the Face of Corruption, if indeed it was, is doomed to fail.
Uhuru it would look is good at stealing elections. Perhaps because the mother is a cold calculating person with zero emotions. Taking out a guy like Ruto requires nothing slower than lightening. Ruto is the kind of guy if given 3 seconds to breath will mobilize enough power to be rescued from the face of a firing squad.
I liken him to Jean Paul Marat of the French Revolution.
In other words - and I am not advocating for it - such a person can only be assassinated. Like a socialist or communist in Africa, there is no way you can remove him from power short of an internal revolt within his own organization. Ruto has a network of cells that would make a communist envious.

The most important thing is that the thieves are now openly fighting and even our resident ostrich Pundit can no longer deny. I think the genie is completely out of the box and cannot be rebottled. Ouru should now go to plan B because plan A is oviously not working. Actually he should skip plan B and C and move straight to plan D because he wasted too much time playing coy after the handshake shook Ruto to the core. I still believe Ouru has an upper hand but like Omollo said, the window is closing fast.?s=19"We will not allow DP Ruto's lifestyle be audited until Mama Ngina is also audited" ~ Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah.

I don't think anybody believes that. It's an open secret that this is about GEMA telling the hustler they owe him nothing. There are no good guys. So no tears to shed for whoever catches the brunt.

bitmask correctly predicted that Uhuru and GEMA would not reciprocate Ruto's political support. Well, a good chunk of them are actively scheming against him, some support him while Uhuru is now a watermelon. Well done bitmask, you have one forecast up on Pundit.
Uhuru is happy-go-lucky, slow witted, lazy and not interested in a fight. He wants to retire quietly. It must be your boy Raila who is misleading him. Ruto had likely anticipated the betrayal scenario and planted informers everywhere. He can sabotage and embarass Uhuru easily like he has done with sugar. Akicheza next the poison sugar will show up at Brookeside and the media will be tipped off.
Just saw JFK online... Mohamed Ali the Jicho Pevu dude from Nyali. He wonders how expensive mercury can be sold off cheaply as sugar. That Matiang'i is playing politics. Then CS Adan Mohamed has contradicted Matiang'i publicly. Uhuru's war will become a circus very easily and he will be left with egg in the face.

Rv pundit,
Gema are not idiots they are containing your people slowly.uhuru is going to buikding several paramilitary instslliations in rv..if your yoiuth start a war they will suffer tremendously. Uhuru is not kibaki..you guys have never seen a maniac uhuru. You will see him. Let ruto take care. All I know is those central mps challenging uhuru are dead. They are dead literally..
GEMA need to look forward - not backward - otherwise right now there is youth bulge in RV & people haven't adjsusted to reduced land sizes that can longer support kind of "large" scale lazy farming they are accosted to..and would make 2007 pev look like walk in the park - if they saw an opportunity to loot.

The biggest revolt if there's one will come from GEMA against uhuru. We also need to appreciate that urbanization has to occur driven by increased farming productivity. Even young RVs would rather move to the city than engage in farming. There are some ambitious young politician from GEMA who are looking forward and can sense that they'd be influential in Ruto's government. This people are ready to defy uhuru. Also its clear alot of money in RV interior owned by GEMA was moved in Nakuru, one of the reason why Nakuru is most likely the 3rd largest city in Kenya. No one wants to fight the least of all kikuyus, GEMA biggest concern is the economy. This is where uhuru has performed dismally and now groping in the dark to come up with a semblance of a legacy with 4 agenda. Housing I am sure uhuru's companies CMAX,KOTO and clay works will make out like bandits. So basically uhuru is more vulnerable than Ruto in corruption.
Hk clay works was owned by njenga karume..uhuru and ruto must be judged as a couple..nothing more nothing less..ruto is suffering the curse of vicd presidentsClay works wasn't owned by Njenga but Gema group that's the one next on your left after Githurai heading to nairobi. Kenya clayworks products manson hart is owned by kenyattas. Its opposite brookside dairy and peponi schools.
The so called Ouruto “miracle” was all based on escaping justice from ICC, stealing elections from Raila and looting the country coffers. That’s all Ouruto did over the last six years. Now the whole house of cards is coming down unraveling. Either way you look at it, it’s coming down and both Ouru and Ruto will go down with it. Ouru will most likely finish his second term but Ruto is not succeeding him. Pundit seems to be suggesting that Kalenjins have the capacity to lead Kenya by force by conquering all the other tribes like Shaka of Zulu did. I think he is finally losing his mind with his Kalenjin/Ruto exceptionalism.
Let me break it down for you. After Uhuru vanguished Raila - he obviously think he deserve some recognition as the top dog who tamed/killed Raila - while Ruto similarly went for Raila support base & drove them home - and whatever is happening is just the re-balancing post Raila. The meet you see the hyena fighting over is actually Raila's goat. That is actually a kalenjin proverb. When your see the hyenas fighting, just know you goat has been eatenrThe so called Ouruto “miracle” was all based on escaping justice from ICC, stealing elections from Raila and looting the country coffers.

You profess to be a cold hard political realist but I have noticed that’s true when it favors Ruto, otherwise when the political winds are against Ruto you have a very difficult time dealing with political reality. Let me purée it for you and feed it to you with a spoon, Ouruto is no more. Jubilee will be disbanded or reduced to a shadow of URP. Ruto will not get Gema support let alone inheriting Raila’s strongholds. It’s not necessary to argue over this as time will prove me right.

You can speculate on some cold war btw Ruto and Uhuru but stubborn fact is this. The confirmed loser is Raila..who killed nasa and is desperately fighting to retain ODM..
Raila sold himself and his folks for exactly 4 prados $ a siren.
Kichwa needs the Uhuru-Ruto war aspirin to distract from the pain of Raila's death.

How is Raila dead when he is part of the handshake which exposed the UhuRuto war. Do you really think Ouru would have started this war with Ruto without Raila on his side. GEMA could not open a war on two fronts. Gema had no choice but to make peace with Raila first in order to start one with Ruto who was a bigger danger to them. The country went back to governable immediately after the handshake. That in itself is evidence that Raila is still powerful.
All good - except what did Raila and his people get - for raising the white flag, Uhuru has continued to appoint Ruto folks including those in Luo Nyanza post-handshake and Ruto continues to ran gov - launching projects and use it to bury ODM in many places - and Raila's ODM is holding crisis after crisis meetings. Raila did not even get any role in gov!
Raila killed NASA & ODM exactly for 4 prados & a siren. Typical.Ruto (RV) have yet to lose anything in the war against graft or any "cold" war with Uhuru. At NCPB - Kalenjin replaced a Kalenjin - In NYS -a Kalenjin replaced a Meru.
I don't know what exactly Ruto has "lost" so far in the so called war. Uhuru has no stamina for cold war with Ruto. Ruto will ran so many circles around him. Unless he was to take Raila directly on board.How is Raila dead when he is part of the handshake which exposed the UhuRuto war.

Robina, sometime I think you are just heckling without knowing what you are heckling about. Tell me just one place where ODM has been routed out and please do not tell me about coast province. The people who rushed to Ruto before the war with him and ouru boiled to the open are already doing a moon walk. As the war between Ruto and Ouru rages, you will not hear any talk of Ruto in the coast anywhere or central province. Just as you came to accept that there is a war between Ouru and Ruto, this too will come to pass. The days of following RV pundit blindly are over my friend.Raila got GoK role as AU/IGAD amassador - he's fixing South Sudan.

Kichwa, Ruto has serious political mettle. Ati war with President Kenyatta while 80% of the Jubilee MPs and governers are in his corner. Including some CSs. Maajabu when CSs side with the DP and not the "boss". Yaani venye kina Saitoti walikunja mkia... this is new.
I wouldn't be surprised to find Tuju and most Jubilee secretariat stuffed with Ruto cronies... as the drunkard slept on the job. Uhuru needs Raila to assist him take on Ruto. Na bado haiwezi! :)
Why are Jumwa and Dori being kicked out of parliamentary committees? They have rebelled against ODM to support Ruto. Nanok too. Kingi? These are big ODM fish. You're in denial about the precarious situation. Ruto may fight with Uhuru but we see many top GEMA still in his corner. Show me any elected Central leaders who have gone rogue on Ruto like ODM MPs are doing to Raila. Besides that the Wetas already left Raila's corner. I think Uhuru may end up with a rebellion... imagine he's PORK yet Ichung'wa, Waititu, et al - Kiambu backyard - support Ruto openly in public rallies.
Which is why I worry for him.
GEMA has a very bad track history when it comes to individuals other than MKM President having MPs in his pocket.
Moi avoided having any MPs in his pocket or at least displaying them. He dished out some money to candidates around the country but did not parade them.
He learned from what happened to Tom Mboya who like Ruto went around the country displaying his influence. Like Ruto he cashed his inheritance quite early and started acting like he was already president.

Those folks have families to feed. Debts to pay. Raila, ODM or principle is not going to do that for them. It's naive to imagine that their defection somehow translates to movement on the ground. In any case it's not meaningful to try and predict where they will be a month from now, let alone 4 years down the line. I vaguely remember Ngilu shifting alliances like twice in a span of a few months on an election year as she looked for a spot on one of the teams.
Robina
Defections to Ruto are engineered by the NIS. This is being done at a time when NIS as currently constituted is an MKM edifice. I have already been insulted for suggesting that the huge budget increase when there is no election and Raila has a different target than the usual suspects. I will however not change my position and time will prove me right.
It is extremely difficult to convert certain parts of the country to vote for MKM or Ruto. Moi did a good job of creating and anti Kikuyu alliance. If Ruto wants to benefit from it, he must show his anti-Kikuyu credentials and they wiull be checked for fraud.
I speak about all those areas you have listed. Even the MATUSA will need more than assurances of blood to vote with him. MKM routinely steals votes in Samburu. Left on their own those have been Raila's people which he inherited from Moi.
Now should Raila disappear like Moi did (after betraying his own alliance to Uhuru) they will find someone else who will carry their spears. I say the same about my adopted people of Pwani as well as Kisiis.
Like I said here before, people are waiting to see where Raila is going with his handshake. If Uhuru makes the mistake of believing Raila is dead and his supporters too and puts on his scavenging uniform, he will get a rude awakening.
First I see you're desperately asking GEMA to assassinate Ruto :) now. Things must be very rough for ODM. This time round - Ruto is not asking for Non-GEMA to vote a gema candidate - this time round it's Ruto asking for his vote - so expect very little resistance in areas where GEMA are not popular like coast. I see Ruto sweeping the entire RV including Kikuyus (even if Uhuru was to mess around), of course most of northern kenya, coast, part of western - which roughly would make him hit 40% - before any GEMA vote is cast in Mt Kenya.
In other words - and I am not advocating for it - such a person can only be assassinated. Like a socialist or communist in Africa, there is no way you can remove him from power short of an internal revolt within his own organization. Ruto has a network of cells that would make a communist envious.
My view is that if Uhuru fails to get rid of him within the next 3 months, Ruto will get rid of Uhuru faster than he can wipe his asshole.

You're all over with "assassinate " Ruto.
Let me educate you about Kilifi. Before I do let me share some simple statistics that may help you understand:
1. Kilifi has a total of 0 (ZERO) Jubilee MPs
2. Kilifi has a total of 0 (NADA) Jubilee MCAs
Having done that let me add the following:
3. ALL politicians who associated with Jubilee lost and lost badly
4. ALL MPs who went to bed with Jubilee were banished
5. Politicians associated with Jubilee can only hold political rallies with heavy police and para military presence.
Jubilee is aware of this and fears using high handed tactics in Kilifi for fear of extending the Lamu problem to Kilifi. The locals know that too and Aisha Jumwa can continue opening her legs for Ruto but she can kiss goodbye to a political seat in Kilifi. She may well not complete her term. That is Kilifi not Machakos.

Aisha Jumwa has a very tough time ahead of her.
She is seeking to replace Gideon Mung'aro as the fixer in Kilifi. Mung'aro lost when he told one too many lies to Uhuru. Jumwa is investing in Ruto.
Unfortunately for her, she is dealing with a very informed constituency. This was the only other stronghold of the Mazrui who made sure Mombasa was never ruled by any outsiders. It is a historical thing which few understand.
On the video: Pundit is a joke. He is shocked that their pointman lacks support. This is not the only vide taken of her being heckled. It is interesting that multiple people would take such videos and then hold on to them until now.
It is possible to determine the date of a video through meta data. But then is it that matter of life to convince Pundit?Would like to see the logic for this : the MKM/NIS engineering defections from Raila and Uhuru to Ruto.

Few now doubt that a handsome majority of central Kenya MPs solidly back Mr Ruto, and in the event of a showdown between the President and Deputy they would go with the latter.
This includes initiatives in Parliament on anti-corruption effort, or any legal and constitutional amendments that might be proposed from the Building Bridges initiative, which most of them dismiss as a restricted Uhuru-Raila deal of no importance to Jubilee’s post-Kenyatta agenda.
It would provide for a bizarre situation if President Kenyatta was abandoned by his central Kenya troops, leaving him to depend on the support of Mr Odinga’s opposition forces.
Rather than Mr Kenyatta’s State House, Mr Ruto’s Harambee House Annexe office and Karen official residence and office have become the magnets for central Kenya leaders soliciting support for development projects or fund raising efforts.
Aisha Juma has clarified that video clip was long time - ODM nomination battle with Mtengo - don't buy Omollo & his ODM groupies videos on face value.

Yesterday you listed a non political position as political. Today you seem to have a different view.
Were Iringo, Nancy Gitau and Kimemia politicians or civil servants?
Political wars in Kenya may be fought by dogs - i.e. Duale may be sent to insult someone or Kuria and Aladwa sent to irritate Luos and Kikuyus respectively.
But Pundit note one thing: The Dog Owner controlling the State always wins. That is because in the end it is the coercive instruments that take over and win the war. Moi's arsenal included Parliament and judiciary. Those two have limited participation and reduced impact today.
That is kibaki folly and you saw how it ended. Politician fight politic war because they are free to go partisan - to go rallies and make partisan positions. The Murather-Kibicho guys can only fight proxy wars - because they cannot by law be partisan - or they would be kicked out by parliament. Ruto has his people in gov - all arms - just like Uhuru - but he knows what each person best job is.
You saw the same civil servant try fight Sonko - and Sonko gave them Miguna Miguna - now its them bending over to Sonko.
Ruto just gave them a peter keneth move - murathe spend the week desperately calling & threatening MPS :) :) not to attend the rally- Ruto is basically fighting their proxy war right in GEMA - the civil servant are confused because politicians will never answer to them - politician have huge egos - Uhuru has to call Moses Kuria himself and tell him to start war - but Uhuru doesn't want to do that - he wants somebody else to do it for him - so this end before it starts.Yesterday you listed a non political position as political. Today you seem to have a different view.
Were Iringo, Nancy Gitau and Kimemia politicians or civil servants?
Political wars in Kenya may be fought by dogs - i.e. Duale may be sent to insult someone or Kuria and Aladwa sent to irritate Luos and Kikuyus respectively.
But Pundit note one thing: The Dog Owner controlling the State always wins. That is because in the end it is the coercive instruments that take over and win the war. Moi's arsenal included Parliament and judiciary. Those two have limited participation and reduced impact today.
What you describe there is the cosmetic part of the war.
Rallies where people dance and raise fingers (hopefully not the middle one) are just michezo ya kuigiza ( public drama, if you will). Those are usually the smokescreens to hide the real fight.
What should worry you is why those loyalist GEMA Mps are "supporting" Ruto.
There are because they are gaining now and in the future. Uhuru cannot follow through things - he'll get tired soon enough if not high - so these mps know in Ruto - btw now & 2022 - they have a reliable accessible partner - who can unlock many doors in gov & make things happen.
The future is interesting - here is Uhuru who is going lameduck and his orphans are trying "impossible" move to extend his term somehow - and here is Ruto the heir apparent - who "must" choose a GEMA DPORK.Most ambitious politicians will want to be part of the future (if not design that future). And that future right now is Ruto. Uhuru has to figure out how to extend his term or make it clear he will chose the DPORK for Ruto.
Uhuru has to crystallize his plan for the future. And do it fast because power hates vacuum. The likes of PK will fill the void and by the time Uhuru wants to appoint his wife as DPORK - Ruto would already have picked his DPORK.What you describe there is the cosmetic part of the war.

Making a VP choice that will unite Gema is easier said than done. In fact most choices will divide them rather than unite them. In 2002 Moi thought that by picking a Kikuyu presidential candidate he was home free then came Kibaki tosha. Ruto can pick Peter Kenneth if he wants but other presidential candidates including Gidi can also pick a Gema. There may also be a Gema presidential candidate. Ruto has no monopoly over Gema vote.
