Right now he is unpopular even amongst kalenjin..ground iko mbaya.Silver linning we are looking at record maize harvest. Potatoes have dropped drastically to 1300 or 1500 from 7000 a bag.Maize n petrol ndio shida. Ruto should double down on maize fertlilizers susbidy...that will be main issues in elections.

[Githunguri]

Unless he rigs in 2027,I doubt whether he can win.

Certainly 'not working for ruto' is this kind of language being freely used at public barazas in centro .... @Githunguri are parts of centro getting off the bandwagon?

Look like Ruto decided to screw local politics and vie for globalist positions.

There seem to be need for diversity at globalist level to replace the likes of Tony Blair...

Ruto and Hichilema running toe to toe currently!

Tanga tanga president who no one can name any significant achievement thus far only talk and lofty declarations while Kenyans and especially hustlers starve to death.

Fala - soma hapo. Maize as stable food. Ruto should restore strategic food reserves.

Uhuru unpopularity has transferred to Ruto because of Uhuru mess in maize and sugar.

Ruto intervention in maize is still few months (august-october) is when harvesting will happen - definitely looks like a record maize harvest.

Next year he should double down on getting more and more people to farm. Then restore strategic maize reserve.

Petrol ndio shida kubwa - due to external factors involved - but might make sense to have some strategic fuel reserves when price go down.

Ruto gov has done a lot - fruits will soon become apparent soon. Mombasa people are happy with SGR thing. Tourist are back like never before. Maize looks good. Potatoes have dropped to 1300. Drought has ended.  Bla de bla - economy in 1st Q of 2013 - grew - for first time in two years!

Kenya gov is dealing with uhuru problems - that he transferred to new gov - Ruto still need one full year to fix all those problems - that drunkard caused - including trillion in debts and pending bills.

From 2025 - it will be nyweeeeeeee! - 2023/2024 - we still have to repay the kenyatta debts.

Tanga tanga president who no one can name any significant achievement thus far only talk and lofty declarations while Kenyans and especially hustlers starve to death.

There is no 'fala' here. Go tell it to the birds. Which are these external factors yet our neighbors are all reducing price of fuel?? The EastAfrican is reporting that fuel coming through Dar is costing less in TZ. You must be be the only one who does not know that generally International fuel costs have been trending downwards lately.

Fuel prices are falling right here under our noses in Tanzania, yet your favourite Nyanza MP wants you to believe that the only way to silence the red light on your fuel gauge is to go take pictures at State House Nairobi. We thank God for the lies. pic.twitter.com/GNygD9I5IC

THE OIL DEAL SCANDAL.

Banks have grown cold feet OF THIS DEAL after demand for petrol and diesel plummeted upon impact of new 16% vat at the pump.

Gulf suppliers State owned Saudi Aramco, Emirates national oil corporation (Enoc), and Abu Dhabi National Oil Corporation Global Trading Company (Adnoc) signed a 9 month agreement for supply of petroleum to Kenya. The companies were to ship in 800,000 tonnes of petroleum products EVERY MONTH.

However there is oversupply because the demand has fallen by almost half as Kenyans decline to use personal vehicles. This has made local CONFIRMING banks to panic because the petroleum oil products will remain unsold for a much longer time than they thought (KCB, NCBA, Absa, Stanbic and co-op); the LC issuing bank is Afreximbank ( by issuing the letter of credit -LCs- local banks commit to pay suppliers in case offtakers Gulf energy, Oryx energies and Galana oil FAIL to pay for the fuel).

So now, banks have refused to cooperate fearing loses and GoK has been forced to send a delegation led by EPRA boss Daniel Kiptoo to the middle east to convince banks there to step in and issue LCs. The energy CS is Davis Chirchir.

Gulf suppliers expect their first installment payment of kshs 70 billion (500m US $) coming September.

However, oil prices have been falling and Kenya wants to change the agreement to benefit from lower prices even as the shilling plummets against the Dollar.

Local petrol station outlets also want EPRA to increase their kshs 4.14 margin saying that this margin is the same as when petroleum products were selling below kshs 100, making their margins unsustainable and have threatened to close their businesses.

Additionally, the high fuel prices in Kenya have driven regionak dealers to buy in Tanzania, exporting through Uganda to DRC, Rwanda and Burundi, completely avoiding Kenya leading to high unemployment along the supply chain in the sub sector.

EXPECT THE SHILLING TO TAKE A HUGE HIT IN SEPTEMBER as the state hunts for dollars at a time of possible supply shortages, amid plenty (glut) if EPRA fails to add margins for petrol stations which will further push up prices of petrol and diesel.

Ruto's big problem is only trusting his kinsmen. Placing fellow Kalejins to control major sectors of the economy like energy will be his underdoing.

Ruto's big problem is only trusting his kinsmen. Placing fellow Kalejins to control major sectors of the economy like energy will be his underdoing.

His love for tribe-mates and idiots is mind-boggling and a pointer to the fact that he loves those who are not independent minded. He's dragged my good friend Dr. Charles Hinga Mwaura, an otherwise sharp guy, into the fools paradise. Very sad. I watched him run out of saliva two months  ago trying to explain the housing levy nonsense on TV.

Exactly Maize and Petrol are the elephants in the room,I wonder if Ruto knows whats going around people are becoming very desperate and bitter, he can at least lower fuel and maize meal and cooking oil then people wont care about the mbig ones but as it stands Baba will even remove him forcefully from ikulu. Ruto needs settle cost of food and fuel this month otherwise starting August he is done for.

[sema]

becoming very desperate and bitter

Is he listening to Ndii too much? Ndii has said over and over that the prescription will be painful but there's no way around this pain, but does ruto need to balance ndii's theories with his political instincts that come from the ground?

Is this situation worse than what was happening in the 90's?? or how does what's happening today differ from the economic collapse of the 90's?
