There is no respect, but more disrespect in the eyes of 70-80% of Kenyans. Bacteria and virus comments when Raila was on his deathbed will haunt Gachagua and, to some extent, Kalonzo for a very long time. Luo podcasters are constantly talking about it, and I think Gachagua knows he has to stay away from anything outside Mountain for now. He can do Meru and Ukambani, but outside those regions, he cannot campaign all over Kenya with peace. When you aspire to be a national leader, you have to endear yourself to other tribes and communities more than your own. Ruto rarely steps in RV/Kalenjin land but does big things for women, youth, and widows in RV, Mountain, Nyanza, North Eastern, Coast, and Western and all over Kenya because he wants to send a message to people that he is not regional but global. Gachagua, Babus, Kalonzos and those aspiring to be president need to learn from him how to NEVER be tribal and be a uniter at all times no matter how difficult the situation is.
Gachagua on this, failed the test, but he may have solidified the anti-Raila wing of Kenya, which is about 20-30%
