We are agreed on elite purging each other as long as they dont go for the people like Uhuru did by going for poor kipsigis peasants and kalenjin nation by cancelling or stopping four dams - and many projects - and making the half of gov that supported Ruto - inside executive and outside live in fear.
I hope to see a clinically war against Kenyatta and Moi empires that have captured state. This hopefully will be done very quickly and we are done with Kenyattas & Mois. I think "one arrow" perfectly aimed is enough because both have been rejected by Gema and Kalenjin - and nobody will cry when Ruto goes for their insane state like business empires - infact people will jubilate!
That said - IQ alone is not everything. Pinochet didnt have the IQ. He hired Chicago boys. Kibaki had IQ and economic background but he was lazy and too old to execute his vision - and was poor politician - who despite economy growing at 7 percent - totally mismanaged the country politics - lost an election, rigged himself brazenly and nearly led us to a civil war.
Moi had a problem with Low IQ from his limited education but he had passion and generally steered kenya peacefully for 24yrs despite heavy sanctions from the west.
In short what you need is a great leader like Ruto - someone who packs many talents - brilliant, hardworking, visionary, ambitious and effective go-getter. That is what makes the difference. A complete politician or leader that can move the country forward - in progressive leap frogging changes. You need a little bit of Michuki, Nyachae, Matiangi - a little bit of KIbaki- a little bit of Jomo - a little bit of Moi - a little bit of even Uhuru - all in the right mixture - to produce a TRANSFORMATIVE LEADER.
Closer home you need to study what Meles Zenawi did, What Museveni initially did and what Kagame is doing.
We shall see if Ruto corruption was means to an end or way of life...I believe Ruto realized very early that our politics required a lot of money..he saw it under Moi. I believe like Kagame or Meles who had to kill to get power - Ruto has to bribe amonst other things to get power but Ruto has greater vision and ambition to transform kenya - than just stashing money in his account.
If he loved money - he wont be dishing a lot of it. He would be grabbing and keeping like Jakom does. For Ruto money is a part of the political arsenal.
I have no problem if one thief (Ruto) decides to decapitate other thieves (kenyatta, moi and others) -- let all these thieves decapitate each other for all I care. However, Africans are blood thirsty and have shown that they have the violence part down but not the IQ part.
I'm sure pinochet decapitated (literally) many of his enemies, but he had the IQ part down and and saved the Chilean economy. He also did not steal that much (I believe when chileans decided to go after him he was only worth about $5 million dollars) He was not a big time thief like these Africans.
I guess what I'm saying is that I am waiting for the first African president ever to surprise me with the IQ part.
