You can engage in all sorts of unsubstantiated graft allegations against Dr Ruto but we all know he is clean as pamba as far as the law is concerned. So lets not waste time with rumours and propaganda. Kenyattas are clean. Mois are clean. Odingas are clean. Ruto is clean.
People who have been found in law to be corrupt - are well known - they are not that many. One of them is my man lawyer Kirui - former Telkom MD - who is now serving jail for stealing Nairobi cemetery with Mudavadi.
I think going forwards - let us try to stick to facts - and be objective.
Now to the your important questions. I say TRACK RECORD matters. What are Ruto achievements in places he has led. Anybody can talk a storm but what people are looking for are track record of Ruto has MP for North Rift - where his CDF was one of best managed - his track record in KANU & MOI - where he rose quickly thro the ranks through sheer talent - and his shortlived tenure as Min under an hostile Raila - where he excelled in Agriculture & Higher Education.
I told you a personal story from my dad. My dad is Kibaki man for many years. When Ruto became min of agricluture - they had issues around tea - and they booked appointment - Ruto was able to see them - my fathers and others farmer were allowed to sell tea to multinationals in Kericho - and for some 5yrs farmers in my places were making serious money. My uncle had loan issues with KFA - Ruto was able to see them. Ruto would arrive at office 5am - and would solve issues -
Ruto was named the best minister. When Raila heard that - he reshuffled him to what he thought was useless ministry - higher education - Ruto on first day was able to unlock a crisis that had last nearly 30yrs since 1990s strike - admission had been begged with bed capacity - always us who went to university knows how long we waited - 2yrs - for hostel to be available - and Ruto was able to solve that in DAY ONE. He simply ordered universities to do DOUBLE admission to deal with backlog - just one year of double admission - had cleared huge backlog - and now kids don't wait for 2yrs - but at most 4-10 months.
We need people like Matiangi, Ruto and Magoha in Kenya. ANd GOD without CHINESE were would we be. We need those Chinese. Let them build us roads..and take the cream (profit margin & few jobs)....until our contractors are able to measure. What is more important..the contractor or the road or railway delivered on time & coast.
