From what I can discern - Uhuru got shocked when NIS presented evidence Ruto was now richer than him. He normally think Ruto is a bible thumping guy who loves politics - the same dim view people had of Moi.
What he never imagined was that Ruto had meticulously skimmed off the cream of gov for 5yrs and was now buying 1.1B helicopter - to add to his 4 others.
It just corruption envy
The same way Uhuru fell out with Wanjingi when he found out Wanjigi was going to make 10% commission from China - in 300B contract - whopping 30B! Uhuru told Wanjigi to blood f.off and took that 10%. Wanjigi fought him - but he was no politician. Now Ruto is a different kettle fish. Uhuru after dealing with Mungiki will probably want to hire assasin to finish Ruto. Ruto has to be careful.Uhuru can be vengful. If they go to war - it gotta be nuclear war.
Probably Uhuru thought with his 300M dollars - nobody else would beat him...and went to drink
. Ruto wakes up every 5am and skim off 10% of everything else. The budget is like 25B dollars. Ruto deploys his parrallel intelligence to track every big item and ask for his 10%.
I have to take off my hat for Ruto. He has done it with amazing grace. His fingerprints are wiped off the murder weapon and he has an airtight alibi.
The question is why and how on earth did Uhuru start a war he knows he cannot fight? Since when did an African government have people within it ready and willing to take on the head of state.
I met a County Officer who told me the problem with Uhuru is nobody respects him.
