I am starting to believe that there could be politics at play in this BBI.
Why is Ruto appearing not to support it when his major issues have been sorted… The police council, the IEBC, the senate somehow etc.?
Unless Ruto opposes BBI completely at the ballot I am tempted to believe this BBI initiative could be both UhuruRuto agenda for 2022 and they need to show/convince the opposition that Ruto is not that comfortable with it, so that Raila supports it. I mean the document as it stands favors Ruto politically as a politician. Why would he oppose it? Not unless you have me convinced that he is an angel, couching for our rights as common citizens?
I believe there could be a hidden political game going on here. Time will tell. And UhuruRuto could be in this together not unless Ruto goes to NO team in the referendum
What is it there in the BBI document that does not favour Ruto politically as a politician for 2022 that he should oppose it.? I can’t see.
The document goes only against ordinary Kenyans through the many seats it creates for politicians. I see hidden politics being played in this BBI thing
I can’t say its UhuRuto BBI. What I know those closed door talks with DP Uncle Ruto and Church leaders lead to changes to the documents. Those changes bypassed RAT and his minions. I think they were catching up to them this afternoon. Na bado its still a shitty document. Still has new bloated executive and more politicians. Bado its a NO. I have not campaigned against DP Uncle Ruto yet but it will happen if he endorses this document. However from his comments this evening, he hasn’t. More work to be done.
If you want to control the game control both sides. Both Ohuru, Raira and Luto knows the secret. Sisi tumeketi kufollow the flock ata kama tunaenda kuchinjwa. Ngojea vitu vikuwe normal, utaona sudden shift kwa game, venye kulikua na sudden handcheque
You speak from the position of someone that has already determined who will win the 2022 election. In order to know why he would oppose the document, you also have to be able to contemplate what would happen, if your assumption about the outcome of the 2022 election proves to be wrong, just as I suspect it is.
And what would he lose from the document. At least it he loses the elections he can be an opposition leader with a well funded constitutional position. If the 2010 constitution holds as it is and he loses the 2022 elections he will just be a commoner and will be forgotten quickly in public life and politcs. Thats why BBI is still favoring him again regardless of whether he wins or loses. Now tell me what Ruto himself stand to gain politically from opposing this document? Not unless you tell me he is aware many Kenyans are not supporting it and wants to ride on this wave for 2022 or maybe he is genuinely interested in our rights as Kenyans and is fighting for us or maybe it’s politics he is playing with Uhuru like I have said.
A process and document as hazy and amorphous as BBI can only be countered by tactics and moves that keep the opponents guessing, as one strategizes on the best course of action.
I see your man in a similar situation to what Eaila was in 2010. Openly support the document now, give your opponent leverage against you to rig you out in 2022, sending you into political oblivion (and for all intents and purposes, the so called leader of opposition is oblivion). Fail to openly support it now, and you give them fresh impetus to ramrod it into the constitution. Remember they can change tack at any moment about how it will be passed. Real catch 22.
