The difference is in the upbringing, Uhuru never trusted Ruto, a kikuyu trait not to trust non-Kikuyus - I call it logical in the context of Kenya, so he made sure those in critical positions had no relation to Ruto, and Ruto could not scheme any stupid thing against him.
Ruto on the other hand is a an emotional leader, trusting until you betray him, I call stupid in the context of Kenya.
He gave Gachagua free hand and he could plan evil things against him.
Ruto needs to understand even your closest Kikuyu friend will jump on any weakness you have , like trusting- Yes trusting in Kikuyu culture is weakness. Once you get that you will live happily with Kikuyus and not treat you as KYM.
Not possible He would be able to Govern Kenyan . Even Ruto who is more vicious couldnt do that to Uhuru nor can he do it to Gachagua .
Ruto in all honesty just miscalculated Big time . It happens in politics Moi miscalculated , Uhuru Miscalculated Kibaki miscalculated also .
Kibaki was able to recover and put Raila in his place , Moi and Uhuru couldnt recover . Ruto also recovery is pegged on Raila supporting him in 2027 .
I see Ruto been afraid to get out statehouse n standard reporting mass staff transfer in statehouse n tigtening of access to president.He must ruthlessly deal With Gachagua n related mafia
