audacity, Ruto's big weakness is hubris, thinking everyone is stupid while he's so clever. So he would run around looting, sabotaging Gema politicians, etc while praising Uhuru. The court jester fits him very poorly and the flatterer tactic was glass transparent. The man had his party, reimbursed for campaign spend, half everything, looted gluttonously - but is still owed PORK
Smart alecs rarely win. The job now is to uproot his looting network... while letting his cronies hold glorified but toothless posts. Treasury, IG, Majority Leader. DPORK... basically deny him ability to play underdog or outsider. It's no coincidence Mau, anti-corruption, land, etc are being led by Somali, Maa and Gusii.
Once he's denied Non-GEMA dominance, he'll come back to earth and shed the entitled arrogance. With his dismal Kalenjin he's back to 2012 14% - just above Kalonzo. Raila and Uhuru's interests are aligned presently.
Robina, on the clip on prime news, there was some audio when Uhuru was greeting Moi at his home.... that is before I guess the media was told to go away. It seemed like a surprise visit but also Uhuru looked like he had no agenda that took him there. I have to agree with you that the timing can only mean one thing - to inflict embarrassment and remind Ruto of his ONE big failure - his inability to access Mr. Moi's home 
You post has another good point. Ruto was already paid his dues. Ouru owes him nothing. He only owes Nyayo. Ni hayo tu
Desperate Ruto now claims there's a 'secretariat' well equipped to clip his wings. I think he's right kijana amechorewa. This as Uhuru met the Mois for a catch-up on finishing Ruto... rubbing it in after the Ruto visit embarrassment. Uhuru obviously cares only about Moi's not Ruto's debt. He owes Ruto nothing after paying him in cash and nusu PORK.
Talk of State House team to fight William Ruto could be last straw for Jubilee
