That is the clearest overt sign of the #WarAgainstCorruption actually being a #SendRutoHome
Ruto should probably negotiate a golden handshake and go home. This onslaught will be hard to beat.
I am seeing a similar dogged pursuit of false equivalence play out in the US: Whenever Trump is caught in some criminal enterprise or an one comes to light, he and his supporters find a way of blaming Hillary. Pundit cannot see the onslaught on his man without somehow thinking Raila or Raila's supporters think this or that.
He can straight ask me what I think of the #Handshake and from that know if I have the Hyena & the Human hand expectation (that somehow Ruto will go and Raila will benefit!). Has anybody remotely insinuated that? Or is this just some fear in Ruto's supporters built on the fact that Ruto rose to power out of political cannibalism.
Under NARA Ruto was basically a traitor. He spied on ODM for Kibaki and when caught openly shifted to Kibaki. He received lots of money (NIS) to fund his activities to split Rift Valley from ODM.
He rebelled at Naivasha and destroyed the ODM position where they had wanted the West Minster system of government (Parliamentary) as opposed to the Presidential system.
I can go on and on. Finally he is realizing that he has nobody above him to betray other than Uhuru. Raila has made peace with Uhuru so he cannot even use fitina. Like Ekuru Aukot, his relevance is under question. Ruto is a casualty of his own success (at treachery and vendetta) as well as the #Handshake
Anyway Pundit is stunned. He can no longer reason. He is now reduced to a
verb, a noun and voodooHere is Ouru campaigning hard for Ruto at the coast. Wake up and smell the coffee.
