What I am seeing with Ruto and Ndii reminds me of what happened in India in 1991 when the country was on the verge of economic collapse.
Rajiv Gandhi is elected and decides to move India away from socialism and into capitalism. He appoints a Ph.d economist, Manmohan Singh. Singh saves the indian economy and pushes india into a market capitalistic system.
If Ndii succeeds (with Ruto) he will be lauded like Manmohan Singh because it's clear, that Ruto is following Ndii's plan to a T. It's not pinky, pinky, ponki. There's a plan.
