Again you continue with shamelss character assisination. I have never insisted on using any violence. But as analyst I recognise that part of the reason Mt Kenya support Ruto is the fear of repeat of 2007. It's one reason it not been easy to dump Ruto compared to say Raila.
I also believe Ruto signed in this deal with that as insurance against future betrayal - the fear of diaspora fate - has made many kikuyus to really think twice - before dumping Ruto. Otherwise power concede nothing - and they would have just dumped Ruto like they have done to Raila and Kalonzo - like nothing happened.
Of course it's not only reason why Ruto is popular there....but it's definitely part of the reason.
Again I DO NOT advocate violence but I analyze politics disspassionately. The 1m hostage that you do not want to acknowledge - but here we ANALYZE politics without fear or favour.
I CAN TELL YOU SINCE 1990s - Kipsigis have been voting for Maasai candidate in Transmara - FOR PEACE. In fact Moi use to tell them point blank - you choose land or politics. Eventually Ngeno went rogue - and decided to win - because kipisgis are popolous in many places - he won - before Kibaki PEV of 2007 - Maasai started killing kipsigis before even presidential voters were counted - for daring win Kilgoris seat - and broke all the ballot boxes - election had to be cancelled and - in the repeat- Ruto told Ngeno to step down - he refused - and hated Ruto until recently.
Right now a kipsigis can win govenor seat in Narok - but Maasai will unleash violence never seen before - and make life very hard for kipsigis diaspora pale. So kipsigis have to decide - are they ready for war with Maasai now - maybe not - so they will have to delay any ambition to politically dominate Maasai. Is it even worth going to war jfor a govenor seat?- so kipsigis will just pick the most pro-kipsigis maasai - and reject haters like Ole Kina.
This is new normal for Mt Kenya diaspora in RV - after 2007 - they have to choose politics or land.
RV , refer to highlighted below , a year ago already had predicted Raila plan , when you were still instisting using violence as a strategy in politics
