Is Ruto a paper weight tiger?
Kadudu, the NIS billions are for bribing politicians, organizing rallies etc. It is a campaign slush fund. Right now it may appear that they are mobilizing MPs to support Ruto. That makes the likes of naive Pundits imagine Uhuru has let go of power and ceded it to Ruto. And that Ruto is an express train heading to the end station.
The truth is this:
1. MKM is worried about Kikuyu emigres in RV incase Ruto is removed.
2. The only card Ruto is playing is the Kikuyu emigres in RV who he treats as his hostages
Like all terrorist situations, you must first negotiate with them / him and even send him lots of Pizza before storming the building to rescue the hostages.
I think MKM has chosen a slightly different approach. They have fed him Pizza spiked with sleeping dawa; Then they are singing lullabies so he can sleep quietly before the soldiers storm the building and ease him out.
Call it voodoo at will but MKM will never hand power to Ruto or let him seize it.
30b to contain some paperweight tiger.Omollo voodoism is real.
