That meeting is 1 hour shorter than the one Kibaki held with Raila. As they were meeting Muthaura was moving portfolios from Raila's ministry.
Ruto should know one thing: Kibaki thought Kenyatta was the best president ever and he followed his style to a dot. Now Uhuru Kenyatta follows Kibaki's style. Ruto is being screwed.
They are not pleased that he is blackmailing them. Like I said look at it as a hostage situation. While the terrorists have hostages they are given the best pizza and offered lots of goodies. I know of one who was given ice cream.
But while that is going on, the police would be digging tunnels and preparing to storm the location.
Uhuru and GEMA feel they have rightfully earned government and Ruto is giving them a hard time "for no reason". Now people who think like that are not likely to compromise.
Let's assume they had a proper sincere conversation.
Ruto: I have no access to state house and some ministers have greater powers than mine.
Uhuru: You will be given full access to state house and all ministers will be asked to respect youPundit do you know of anything else he could have asked?
The question of succession:
Uhuru: William, I still have 4 years to run this country halafu nitakuwachia. I have not changed my mind about fully supporting you. Anything else Ruto could say? He gets everything he wanted, right?
In the meantime he was not sent to Mauritania. That is now part of denying him exposure to world leaders. In Future it is Uhuru himself or one of those malayas.
As for state house, what could he possibly do at state house when Uhuru is probably running government from Nakuru, Kisumu or Mombasa?
I can inform you they got wind of him trying to penetrate military ranks and that sent shockwaves. That door is closing.
Like I told you Pundit, Ruto had 3 weeks to act. One is gone and now he remains with 2. If he is smart, he will also bluff Uhuru because these "talks" is nothing but bluff. If he does not act in the next two weeks he is TOAST.
Seem he held 5 hr marathon meeting with Ruto..Uhuru is normal a gentleman who keep his word.He has to keep distance from his surrogates who cannot imagine their power and gov largesses coming to end in 2022.Uhuru owes them nothing.He owes Ruto a lot.Could he be buying time?
