Ruto doesn't need a cok to reign like a king. Uhuru has stripped pretty much everything from him now and yet Ruto still get his stuff done without complaining.
If you're as talented as Ruto - then you cannot blame your tools.
Ruto will get anything he wants almost by deploying smart intelligent power.
Dictators are people who are insecure - either for personal failings like Raila or MOI or political reason - like say Kagame from minority ruling majority.
Ruto is almost good in everything - he doesn't need coercive power - if omtatah take him to court - he will likely invite Omtatah and iron out the issues - by agreeing to work within the legal limits - and get stuff done.It hard work to get all the things right - Uhuru and many lazy balls like Raila - don't want the hard work.
Pundit that's what turns me off Ruto. He's more brainy and ruthless and can amend the cok2010
