Not everything is mutually exclusive. Ruto admires Moi, Museveni, Kagame and the likes - for their seriousness and their dedication to services. Ruto believes leadership is passion and handons - you'll find him walking up by 5am and in office before 6 am! That is kind of self-driven leader he see himself. Ruto detest laziness, alcoholism and such kind of ujina...Museveni is also very similar...though Museveni is even more strict because he detest umalaya too.
Museveni need an AK 47 to win and keep power.
Ruto has his mouth and has bullets in KSHS to shoot his way to statehouse.
Why would Ruto become a political dictator - when he can use his gifts in propaganda and add money to finish any opponent?
Only weak leaders like Nobel Laurate of Ethiopia or Moi or Magufuli become dictators.
Ruto only need two weapons - 1) a Microphone and 2) Money.
True. This is why Museveni place son at top of military. Why your man loves him I can only ask Arcadian.
