Robina does not do obtuse or acute turns. She does 180 degrees.
I am confused when it was her Damascus moment.... she flips from a virulent Rutoist to a "realist" in a flip second! Immediately post-election she was solidly aligned to the UhuRuto column and the kool aid they dispensed. She has given a perfect back-flip!
Let us be clear, Ruto is like a rabbit in the headlights; The movie is unfolding in slow-motion right in-front of our eyes and on the tv screens.
If there was ever any indication that UhuRuto are playing Raila, you would not see some of the pronouncements that UK is making.
We keep presenting Ruto as the smart Alec who outsmarts everyone, hiyo ukora yake na uchanja ya sungura imefikia ukingoni. I have never seen any smarts there, only a conman/thief in a suit. No better than Kidero. They are of the same ilk. They give education and hard work a really bad name. When before the newspapers would not even mention him in scandals, today they do with abandon. How do you think they would be able to do that if things haven't changed? Why have the Duale's gone mute and seem as if they are the leader of opposition in parliament rather than presenting and supporting government business?
If Uhuru wont finish what he has started, the mwananchi will. Uhuru wont barrel the 3.4m Kikuyus into Ruto's basket; they will make their own decision based on the lies that they have been fed. It is time to give the mwanachi some credit, the tribal king business is fast receding into the past. Kikuyu folk are equally fed up of/with Kamwana and where he has brought Kenya to...forget the pet projects like SGR which have impoverished them and Kenyans at large.
Already we have seen them eat humble on the northern collector tunnel which is already causing untold environmental havoc in Muranga and its horizons with the underground diversion of the rivers/water from the Aberdares. This includes Ndakaini not filling up in spite of the recent very heavy rains.
Whatever the handshake's (building bridges) underhand dealings (if any), Kenya is the better off with it! That is why i would really doubt newspaper stories that anyone would be openly sabotaging it. It will run its course without further handholding by either Uhuru or Raila. It is no longer their baby....
