Great leaders focus on implementation.
Ruto has all the time for the talking.
Once they is a plan - manifesto - then it execution time - no more talking.
This what China and Ethiopia and countries with 5yr development plan do
Get a good plan - and implement.
Big 4 was a great plan - it was never implemented.
People need to be involved in coming up with the plan.
Then from there it execution - no excuses - otherwise if you start excuses then any small problem - you will abandon the plan.
Ruto is very good in this.
Those who will work with him - should begin pombe rehab and prepare to work for long hours.
MaDVD will cut weight - because meeting will start 6am and end midnight.
But he will be rewarded handsomely
Is public participation really necessary or do you just end up waste long hours in endless village meetings where everyone and their mother has an opinion. If you look at dictators like Lee Kuan Yew and Pinochet, I dont' think they wasted time in public village rallies. They had a vision and implemented it and Lee Kuan Yew spoke about this in his book. When he first got to Singapore, the people were so poor and backward, that he had to work on getting them away from what he called "third world behaviors"
I keep saying the proof will be in the pudding with Ruto. At the end of the day, he will be ruling an African country, not a scandinavian country where people have a long history of production and civilization. I want to see how he will successfully modernize a poor, tribally divided African country.
