You don't understand politics and how it works. Kabando wa Kabando was amongst the Ruto chief haters. He was very bitter after he lost Jubilee nomination and subsequent election. He has opposed Ruto until very recently. The epiphany - we are approaching 2022 and the ground is speaking.
What did Ruto do - when Uhuru played him - he went to GEMA mashinani and incited the nascent peasant pro-poor revolution - that has always been there but has for many reason not gotten traction.
Now despite Uhuru having power, patronage, money and name it - he is being abandoned.
Kangata was first to abandon him despite getting new Prado and goodies as chief Whip because he is interested in being Muranga governor and the ground as Pro-Ruto.
Ruto doesn't use money kiholelea like say Gideon or Uhuru.
Ruto is a complete politicians - he is best in propaganda, best in strategy, best in tactics, of course has money and understand politics like no one else.
Raila is good - but he not as complete as Ruto - he lacks discipline in messaging, he doesn't have long staying power, and doesn't like using money.So Ruto is like Raila without that many flaws.
Kabando is just one of the many escaping Uhuru sinking ship. Kiambaa-Muguga if UDA wins - Uhuru will understand what it mean to be lameduck. He will understand what it means to be betrayed.
Kikuyus leaders will run and make Ruto their KING - while he Uhuru is president.
If I was Uhuru - I would finish and go - otherwise he may end up being bitter like Moi who despite 24yrs in PORK - felt embittered that Kalenjin who he had helped abandoned and almost derided him - heck in 2007 - they ate his cows.
By pushing for Raila - even if he is a decoy for Gideon Moi - Uhuru has set himself nicely to end up being seen as nothing but a community pariah - a traitor - a good for nothing sob.
It simple. Uhuru is now offering SIX MONTHS contracts for political patronage - RUTO is giving out 10 yrs CONTRACTS Another one on the pay of Ruto. YOu have to give it to the kale boy he beat gema mafia at their game stole like no tomorrow and now he is bribing them one by one to sing his praises.
