The smart ones will do what Dr Taita Towett did when Moi ascended power.
Taita Towett was being used by Kiambu Mafia in 1975s to spearhead change constitution
He use to deride MOI as uneducated and unfit - somehow wondering why Kenyatta had ignored him - phd for an idiot Moi.
When Kenyatta died and Moi won - Taita Towett knew his time was up.
While RV police guy was running away - Taita Towett did the ultimate surrender.
He quit politics - built an underground house - and dedicated his life to studying rodents.
He basically told Moi - now that Kabarak was statehouse - kalenjin mean high house - he would build underground - ultimate surrender
Moi arrange for a visit to Bureti - and he publicly quit as Mp- went to his newly built bunker in Ngata -and lived with rats.
He emerged in late 2000s - we met him with my dad in Kericho in his Suzuki as Moi regime was going down
Eccentric as ever and finally happy his torments were about to end.
Together with Nandi Jean Marie Seroney they had opposed Moi - Taita survived - Seroney did not - family claimed Moi killed him.
There was no way Moi was going to live two prominent kipsigis and Nandi leaders - if he was consolidate kalenjin.
The thing with politics is you have to vanguish your opponent - completely - until they wont rise again. If you spare them - they will hit back soon and harder.
Ruto will vanquish his enemies - they will have three option - self-immolate like Dr Taita Towett or run to exile like Mungai of Nakuru Police or wait for their throat to be slit by the incoming gov - basically be bankrupted now - or previously get killed like Seroney
Yes, Ruto don't forget, forgive, and brutal on revenge. In the event he wins, Kenyatta's and his enemies will be walking on fours going to beg for forgiveness/mercy. DP's wants to end Mois, Odingaism, and Kenyattaism in Kenya's politics and focus on empowering the regular Kenyan in having say politically. I feel very sorry for Murathes, Atwolis, Tujus, Kibichos, Matiangis, Manyoras, and the rest!
