Ruto chance of bagging GEMA is now next to zero like Raila before. Both of them need Uhuru not the reverse - cause duhh Uhuru is going home while these hyenas crave PORK more than air. So expect Raila to bend over backwards until 2022 - he been at it 2 years already - with only a motorcade and fake AU job.
Raila focus is singular - bag GEMA with Uhuru endorsement. That is WAY MORE important than CS positions. GEMA of course will follow Uhuru decisive leadership. It how he got them in the first place- PEV ruthlessness and bareknuckles. How many GEMA have you seen defending Ruto? Just usual groupies - Nyoro, Ichung’wa, Gachagua, Linturi. Most GEMA voices have endorsed the axing. Only the Kalenjin bulk will join hustler movement. GEMA are goone.
Yes Ruto should do his thing - which is elephant due to contradictions. How does he attack “dynasties” while sparing Uhuru? How does he herd his crew for ultimate jump-ship from Jubilee while sparing Uhuru? How does he handle his 50 being axed and spare Uhuru? Murkomen, Sudi, Cherargei are already at it with usual insults.
You're not smart but emotional.
He should hedge his bets - get 50% and then become 'loyal' and attack Ruto - aka defend his gok - because he then would have a stake in it.
When Ruto wanted a deal with Mama Ngina and his boy - he went to see Raila - and Uhuru came tagging along his mother - and the deal was sealed.
This is the art of negotiation.
After Raila has got 60% - of Gok - then he can now defend something he has a stake in. Heck Mbadi can make a very good finance minister with his accounting degree
Politics as much as its emotion - is also power and business aka money.
Why would you defend a gov when you have two probably useless CAS while Uhuru is running all critical functions.
As for Ruto - my advice - concentrate on trying to cause a revolt in GEMA - and see how much you can get. Kalenjin have to hold their emotions in check because of one wrong move - and Uhuru will get GEMA.
Ruto should avoid attacking Uhuru - it earns him nothing now - and concentrate on attacking Raila.
He should claim Raila has bewitched Uhuru with Enugu spirits and should dynasty versus hustle - which an indirect hit on Uhuru that is also certainly a hit GEMA = undercurrents of maumau versus homeguard kind of rich boys toying with your future. For that he need kikuyu leader who can rally the cause...and Mwangi Kiunjuri time is either now or never.
