Yes Ruto lacks conviction of what he stands for. I think to him power is a means to an end. I wonder if his poor background damaged him. He sometimes comes across like a man looking for buy class and acceptance. I watched YK92 documentary and it seems the only reason he got where he was is because the group wanted someone with good oratory skills and could talk all the three languages well. I hear he works hard but my thing is focused on anything or his just reactionary.
I met someone who schooled with Gichuru former KPL MD and he told me Gichuru was so poor that he walked over 20 miles a day to and from high school as his parents could not afford boarding fees. So this may have led the man to become obsessed with money to appoint where he could anything to steal money
Ruto has really damaged his brand by stealing openly.. Without RV voters as bargaining chip he is done. I think ruto may be one person in Kenya history that will end up in a very bad place..
1.People are thieves because they are in a situation where they can steal and get away with it
Ruto, Gichuru, Waiguru etc steal because they have access to political players/powers who
place them above the law for a cut of the loot.
in countries governed by rule of law people steal much much less because of the consequences
So I don't agree with you saying shida tupu childhood/backgrounds explain why x or y steals
2. Ruto still has one nasty and powerful bargaining chip up his sleeves, i.e the continued peaceful
stay of Kikuyus in RV
3. Those reasons that lead you to speculate that Ruto will end up in a very bad place.
Do you think the same reasons apply to Uhuru ?
