He has kept Kenya peaceful, he is totally non tribal, the economy was okay before COVID, speaks well, does not seem to have any grievances. He gave Ruto a chance of his lifetime, chill, support the big four agenda and walk into state house almost unopposed. Ruto is a corrupt tribal merchant, he does not know any other way, even his PhD could not help him cause it was acquired corruptly. Kenya needs to find a way to move on from this pedagogy, dogma, it’s insane. When I talk to my kids, nephews and nieces, they do not know tribe, race or color, it’s a human tribe. If my daughter brought a young ambitious Luo home, I would be thrilled than if she brought a drug addled white entitled half literate white boy. Everyone who schooled with me know me, they could not beat me, I beat kales, Luos, coasterians etc not because of my kikuyuism but I used to wake up everyday at 4AM and study harder than everyone, we have to start touting meritocracy, here in USA no Kenyan can beat me not unless they inherited corrupt money in Kenya. Ruto is a who can steal more kind of guy, no vision, not my candidate. Raila has fought for changes that Kenyans are enjoying right now, all the way from being almost Killed by Moi, any person who likes Matiba and what he stood for should be disgusted by humans like Ruto. In 2022 Raila is the integrity candidate and as a Kikuyu, I will happily vote for him.
What has this guy been smoking of late? Jomo Kenyatta, a great guy? Uhuru has wrecked the economy beyond repair. We are looking at IMF funding in the next two years. China owns Kenya. More Kenyans falling into poverty everyday, situation was getting desperate even before Covid. Systematic plunder.
Have you looked at the skewed tribal distribution of positions in government? You are projecting the sins of the Uthamaki on Ruto.

WTF! Explain this howler. Luos and Kikuyus are from the same black race, how do you even make a virtue out of choosing a Luo over a
muthungu, you have been imbibing dangerous racial ideas.
I doubt you were ever a good student. You writing is a giveaway. An accomplished man would not waste his life writing jeremiads against Ruto on an obscure political forum. You are bitter, angry old geezer stuck in a foreign land.
If Ruto is making you that uncomfortable I might entertain joining his bandwagon. I don't expect much from him anyway, keep the country together, prevent tribal clashes, modest economic growth and prevent wide scale looting ala Mt Kenya mafia. We will muddle through his presidency like we are doing with Uhuru. My bar for African leaders is very low.
We can see through your cynical tribalism. Good news is this time even Central youth are tired of home-guard elites who stole their hopes and dreams.
