Ruto get's the job done which is hard to find in our breed of fat lazy political class. Let me give you one example. My father - a diehard DP/Kibaki man - had no time for Ruto and KANU - but when Ruto was minister of Agri and they had issued with KTDA - Ruto granted them a hearing at 6am - and sorted them out. That is how hard working Ruto is - he gets to his office early and get lots of shits done. Of course if Ruto was you political rival - I would understand why you'll hate him because he'll work on you with so much energy and focus - you'd be dead meat like Raila by now.
Ruto has the traits that we solely miss in political class - someone who actually get some stuff done at end of the day - not pampered political class who wakes up around ten with huge hangeover- get to office for 1-2 hrs - goes for 3 hr lunch break and maybe attend one event a day - before retiring to drinking dens till late at night.
In Ruto I see Kagame or Museveni - not in their dictarorship (that is Magufuli) but in their effectiveness..in their ability to get the job done.
Pundit, bringing up Kagame and Museveni makes me even more nervous. Why cant he opt for effectiveness without the dictatorship of those two? I dont even know Ruto that well (I havent studied him) but its things said by his supporters and the few Kalenjins who DONT like him that makes me very nervous. When you guys say "effective":, you do it in a way that implies a dictator.
