True, When Raila loses, Ruto will have almost have no opposition. He will rule Kenya for 10yrs without any oppositin because the feckless and vain Kalonzo cannot offer opposition - and because he will also honour his MOU with GEMA and now rest. GEMA elite having eaten for 20yrs will be very keen to remain silent otherwise their criminal deeds will unveiled.
If people truly and really wanted to beat Ruto - it would have started with ditching Raila for a compromise candidate like maDVD or a Kalonzo who can be elected by GEMA As of now GEMA when they weigh Ruto and Raila - Ruto comes tops always - because despite their fears of Moi and Kalenjin - they cannot stand Raila and Luos. Ruto was keen on Jakom for that reason...he is harder sell in GEMA than he was ever.
Ruto has also successfully inserted himself into GEMA lower class - and radicalised them - any attempt by middle class and elite to oppose Ruto is dismissed as dynastic ticks who were benefited alone in 20yrs of the GEMA regime.
Anyway Kenya with Ruto will achieve lots of things. I know they are those with irrational fear that he is another Moi but Ruto has proven track record from Eldoret North, all the ministries, DPORK and even now as opposition leader of being very effective. Ruto works extremely hard - and is driven by higher goals than just making money.
Why does Ruto steal - because in Kenya you need money to achieve your political dreams - the same way in some countries you need to kill enough people to rule - but once in power - Ruto is motivated to leave a HUGE LEGACY.
Ruto steals and use the money to fund political projects - for example maDVD wants to be paid 5B kshs - and Weta almost a billion shs - if Ruto had no such money - he could miss the rigging margin needed in 2022 - therefore you needs lots of money in Kenya politics - and that has to come from corruption. Otherwise you become a poodle of billionaires like Raila is now depending on them to fund your campaign.
MAMA NGINA basically BOUGHT PORK for Uhuru - like you buy a gift your child - because MONEY in Kenya Politics is everything.In short Ruto in politics, business, and gov has proven that he is the guy to get the job done - this the solid reputation he has built since 1990s - he is the mr fix it - get it done guy - not in Matiangi or Michuki or Nyachae fold - bullies - which only work in dictatorship - but in the ability to get shiet done without appearing to be a dictator - because he packs lots of soft skilss - he has lots of IQ and EQ - has ability to convince and carry people along - and therefore is natural leader.
somethings raila does are idiocy. I think he is tired and is just slothing along to appear to want to be president. I doubt he will offer any opposition to ruto. It is over for him. The only luck he has is that a lot of Conservative Kiuyus middle class and rich are afraid of Ruto corruption. Also, they fear being victimized by Kalenjins. The disaster is that Kalenjins will rule with very little opposition.
