Usurping ground and parliament? I have heard this nonsense from Uhuru apologists and Raila fanatics that it get nauseous.
For one, Ruto behaved as he was behaving in their FIRST term. He still went round the country more than Uhuru did. He still reached out to others building potential alliances and it paid big time in 2017 elections. Uhuru got his second and final term.
Ruto still continued doing his thing and reaching out. Indeed as per Jubilee deal Uhuru would have had sufficient time to focus on EXECUTIVE issues and running the country while management of politics passed on to Ruto as heir-apparent. This was perfect. Indeed all what Uhuru should have done is to let all political players know he's out of politics and he will concentrate on Executive ruling; and that he will not support or campaign for anyone. That's all.
But NO; that's not what has transpired. Uhuru has gotten greedy and addicted to being President/powerful. He therefore team up with Raila/ODM and comes up with this crazy nonsense we are dealing with at the moment. Uhuru NOW finds Ruto as a threat or competitor because Uhuru does not want to RETIRE. He wants power beyond his two terms. And he cannot LIE again to Ruto since he would have no answer to the question; WHY abandon 10yrs 10 yrs deal NOW?
Ruto has usurp nothing. He is the wronged party.
NB: Am afraid violence worse than 2007/08 is now an imminent possibility. Uhuru wing of Jubilee and his henchmen are on suicidal mission: they will get rid of nominated Senators who failed to attend the meeting; then they are advanced schemes to haul into courts some prominent Ruto allies like Murkomen and others with tax issues and corruption allegations. They are turning into malicious with-hunting now. Some MPs in Mt. Kenya have had express threats if they do not stfu. This will not end well.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO TAKE THEIR OWN MOMENTUM & LOGIC
He is going to share 20% with NASA yes. Raila focus is 2022. That very fat reward for his support. Ruto made it impossible for Uhuru to trust him by usurping the ground and Parliament. Why would Ruto share anything when he has direct control? Your logic doesn’t add up. The deal will be made with Raila who cannot take the ground directly - or at least in theory.
It no-brainer you choose not to grasp.
