Ruto has delivered 3 elections to GEMA. Has worked with GEMA without as much as complaining - despite the last few years of humiliation. Ruto clearly has won the hearts of GEMA people. Maybe some of the elites have issues.
Yes BBI will be killed by the judiciary - for the simple reason - it's trying to also kill the judiciary. I don't think our judges are THAT STUPID. BBI is the most existential threat to JUDICIARY - it takes away their security of tenure, their independence and make them an appendage of the statehouse. It kills the judiciary as we know - and return back the Moi or Kibaki judiciary that brought civil war.
How will the judiciary kill it - smartly - they will tell Raila and Uhuru - to pass referendum law - and give them some recommendation - that referendum law would clarify these 8 issues (SO MANY because there is no LAW to guide the process) - before it even comes to court.
Parliament will be required to pass the referendum law (act of parliament) that clarifies these issues...coz the constitution is not the place to find answers..it's the laws that expound on it...and if not Judiciary will simply BUY TIME. Uhuru has 1 yr to go....so delay the rulling a little more and BBI become mute.
Then BBI will be taken to step 1 - 1) IEBC will have the laws to guide it in collection, verifying and name them of signatures 2) Counties will have the law to guide them on them 3) parliament.The law (act of parliament) will also clarify what people amendment is and what is not - like can Uhuru go to the people?.
BBI will be put in abeyance...nobody will complain they lost money..it's public resources
That my prediction for BBI. If you doubt me - ask yourself why JUDICIARY WERE QUICK TO INJUNCT IEBC AND PRESIDENT. By accepting these 8 issues are "weighty" they already declared BBI dead on arrival. They are just doing a postmortem to find the cause of death.
As for Ruto - Ruto has a solid game plan that doesn't need tweaking - maybe Mwangi Kiunjuri will become TWEAKABLE if Uhuru was to walk back and reconcile with Ruto - and demand someone else to deputize Ruto as a way to reconcile Jubilee.
Are you tying to convince us or yourself? Nothing trustworthy about Ruto - at least a non-Kalenjin decide that for you. Raila BBI goodies is the best deal Gema will ever get.
My prediction: BBI lineup will crush Ruto-MK or -Whoever lineup. No kahunas in his team.
Your prediction: courts kill BBI. Then we have 4 candidates. Ruto bag Gema in 2nd round and wins?
It will come to character - who can be trusted - and the second who can give GEMA best deal.
BBI is splitting the pie into tiny pieces.
Ruto is telling GEMA to do 50-50 - with tiny pieces thrown to other kabilas.
And most importantly Ruto is offering 1M gema diaspora long term peace in rift valley.
Ruto has kept his bargain, delivered in Jubilee and despite the problem with Uhuru, has stayed cool.
In short Ruto has the best deal in town.
