Moi was a man who one could read like a book - if one paid attention to his actions and words at the same time.
Whenever he wanted to get rid of any of his ministers he would get very close to the person. He would even invite him to Kabrak and ask him to help reform the government. Leakey and Mbithi can tell you they never knew what hit them.
When he knew Mudavadi and Onyonka were done - to Liver cirrhosis and AIDS respectively - he often let them be "Guests of Honour" at Harambees.
Ruto should be asking why a game invented to cover up the theft of elections has continued to this day. He is being celebrated by GEMA MPs and people in Opposition known to be Uhuru's moles. Is there some order or instruction that they must be very nice to Ruto?
The GEMA fear is the Kikuyu emigres in RV incase something happens to Ruto.
Gotta go.
Not really. If that were true then the Bomet people elected a luo Governor.
Please be patient. The appointments you are now seeing are rewards from the campaign and pre-handshake. The post-handshake stuff will start showing up in the news much later. The daily news headlines are very unreliable for political punditry.
We know certain things for a fact in Kenyan politics:
1. You do not become president of Kenya just because you have won more votes than your opponent.
2. Kenya ina wenyewe
3. A day in politics is like a year in real life
Based on the just those three factors- go slow on your enthusiasm/ predictions/punditry that Raila is finished or that Ruto is a shoe-in for the 2022 presidency.
