In Summary
Mr Tuju has transformed himself into one of the main confidantes of the region’s political kingpin and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga in just under a year.
Today he is a key adviser to the former Prime Minister, a point man in coordinating development projects in the Nyanza region on behalf of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr Odinga.
This new found rapport with Mr Odinga has also endeared him to other senior politicians in the region led by Siaya Senator James Orengo.

He doesn't have to wait till his acting term lapses. He need to join ODM like today.
-
Ruto need to decamp to the brand new JRP - Jubilee Republican Party. Tuju, Murathe et al - will hold MV Hustler at ransom like Martin ole Kamwaro hold UDM - or Ngilu hold NARC. With all party tribunals, registrar.. all the way to SCORK. Ruto need to flesh out his JRP - take his pastoralists to Canaan. He will learn why Babu insist on Mbandi - a Luo - as ODM chairman. Or why Kalonzo plant a Kamba - Musila - as Wiper chairman. Home boys to avoid backstabbing. I am sure Babu offer Tuju direct ticket for Kisumu governor - to mess Ruto.

Not so fast. The acting official terms expires next year.Then party will go into election. If the elections are free n fair - Ruto folks will take the mantle.

"Free & fair" is a very subjective term in Zamunda. What stop UDM from holding free & fair elections 2009-2012?

UDM or ODM were not interim official.Tuju is looking for the next gig.Jubilee party constitution clearly says interim official will serve for 3yrs ONLY.Tuju going to ODM by march next year.

You sound so sure of yourself. Good luck with free & fair election.

Jubilee will hold some elections next year...that is Jubilee moment of truth.Ruto will decide the next course of action based on the outcome of that election.Most likely a Hustler Party will be registered.That is Ruto 2022 platform.The party symbol may be a mkokoteni or even a donkey or something representing the humble hustler of the average of Kenyans.His main opponents are sons of big shots so he will milk that..like he did ICC.As you know Ruto is the greatest propagandists.Sonko Team Wanjiku are trying to steal the thunder...Sonko had the pulse of urban poor but rural Kenyans are repulsed by his cultural rebellion

BBI isha iva. Get ready to spread your Hustler Nation No propaganda here - against Inikuluson.
Handshake team hands in initial report with eyes on referendum
SUNDAY JULY 14 2019
Key opposition leaders such as Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang’ula support a vote to change the supreme law of the land. Mr Kenyatta is expected to support the position taken by the BBI.
While Mr Haji said it was premature to start discussions about a referendum or any other route to alter the laws of the land, sources within the team intimate that “the proposal to expand executive is stronger than any other aspects”, a pointer to what the final recommendations are likely to be.

1. Codify a bill with Yes-No questions
2. Collect 1M signatures in support of the bill. IEBC ratify signatures as real voters
3. Go for 24 counties simple majorities
4. Go for Parliament simple majorities
5. IEBC call referendum
No 1. - the Yes-No question is the make-or-break step with carrots and sticks. I expect Exec PM with fewer MPs, 45% devolution, 1/3 women, bigger equalization fund, etc to dull Ruto propaganda. Ruto probably run to cut through surrogate to claim we can't have Omnibus bill with loaded questions - we should have 1-by-1 questions and people vote on each separately - the questions become Yes-No candidates in long ballot paper. Of course BBI lawyers will give many Commonwealth examples of Omnibus referenda. It dogfight from there.
Expect shenanigans about IEBC not properly constituted. Basically there is nothing legal or illegal about BBI itself - it just a process to gather views - which shield or dull attacks about PM or other questions being self-serving for Handshake crew. Uhuru and Raila could just start with bill of questions - like Aukot fool - and struggle to sell it. For now of course they market it as inclusion or national healing to end rigging and instability, bla bla.
It boil down to Babu the fox vs Ruto the wolf .. while both insist they have the Queen in their corner. Events will soon debunk the Uhuru myth for us.

The "interim officials" of UDM became Ruto nightmare - despite only being backed by powerless Babu. Now imagine Tuju & Murathe backed by PORK. It very easy to break a party - very hard to build it.

45% devolution is impossible without transfer of more functions.The BBI has ended without Uhuru telling us what he wants.Muthaura showed up with some sense of humour.

I recall the 2010-12 days as Ruto riot all over like a mad heifer. With all kinds of vitisho - battling ole Kamwaro. Then once he gather all the Kamatusa, the fool sell out to a drunkard for 30 pieces of silver. What a fool ati genius.
Now - as every std 6 dropout has known all along - unless he is ready to be Uhuru or Raila deputy William Ruto is going nowhere.
