Violence begets violence, live by the sword, die by the sword. Power is getting into his head, he will be out one day and someone will be going after him, its karma.
You've nailed it.
No sane person uses violence when he is power.The moment you get out that office, people will come after you.If people could be mobilized to burn Northlands and steal uhuru goats or in 2007 when they burnt moi farm,How will they react after ruto exits office?they will even go after his properties and business.
Any president who unleashes guns,military,abductions and uses of force is a mad man.
Rule by the constitution and you will never watch your back.
Life after presidency is very important.
