Ruto has no such leverage that Moi had back in 82. He will get his comeuppance, if he hasn’t yet! We have crossed the rubicon.
As I always said and I will repeat it here, WsR is the biggest con to reach such a level of power in Kenya. In less than 18months in power he became a puppet of the west. He is the most corrupt and inept fellow to occupy that office. He even makes Moi look like a saint.
Whereas he had a chance and the resources to mount a second term, that’s now gone… gone kabisa with the wind. He will be a one-term-er. And that’s if he can navigate the next 36months to the end of this term. He has lost legitimacy and the power to even bribe. The cheap MP’s now know that power belongs to the people. Your scapegoat you always used has sat this out as he should have. You don’t have a bogeyman anymore…. Oooh, Lord of poverty, oooh mganga etc… this was a totally different gameplay, the state was totally outflanked.
Baba knew never to desecrate the different centres of power like the legislature or the judiciary. The kids know none of that!!! This is the rubicon that we have crossed and now all those fellows know to tread very carefully about Wananchi matters.
Unleashing the military and (almost) even invoking a state of emergency is cowardice!!! He should face the problem head-on. He should look at the problem facing him right in the mirror. Why doesn’t he attend to the elephant in the room?? People are telling him he is presiding over a corrupt kakistocracy, overburdened expenditure and an incompetent cabinet. These are the things he needs to address.
This will see many people cry.
He has to forget about being western blue eyed boy
