1. RUTO
The man is tainted with so many scandals dating as far back as 30 years ago. From the days of Youth For Kanu '92 to 2022, the man has been involved in Murders, land grabbing, public funds theft. He was opposed to Multiparties, 2010 Constitution yet today he is enjoying the fruits of what he was against. To me RUTO is :meffi:. Ruto cannot fight corruption because he is the definition of corruption.
2. RAILA
Raila has surly sacrificed a lot for this country but at the same time his failure here stems from him associating himself with the Kenyatta Family. Kenyattas have converted Kenya into their kiosk and captured national assets to benefit themselves. It is due to Kenyatta family greed that Milk has been monopolized, Kenyatta family banks are used as conduits or receivers of payments for things such as Toll roads, Mshwari, Mkopa, Fuliza. Kenyatta family needs to giveup their Stolen land and not push Kenyans to elect their Puppet.
You are not neutral. Unajidanganya ukiona kama it’s cool. Kulingana na vile umesema, your heart is with Raila. Because about him you started by praising him for sacrificing a lot for the country, which is total bullshit to me. But you have a legitimate right to your opinion, conviction and conclusions. Don’t feel ashamed of your hero. Stand tall for him like all the others. He really and desperately needs you to do that, lest the other guys watamfinya makende. The hogwash about his association with the Kenyattas is such a frivolous reason and it only makes sense to you and only a few others. However, it is quite in order for anyone to vote or not vote for anyone they want with or without any reason at all!
When you’re presented with the two, it’s not hard to choose. Raila’s catch-22 situation was to take over from the man he had so strongly opposed and maligned while they fought over the leadership in 2 consecutive elections–and do so amicably. Being ‘sworn in’ on the sidelines, street riots, and virulent talk of revolution and liberation didn’t cut it. He had to find an acceptable and benign way of getting support from Uhuru’s camp.
Obviously, he couldn’t do that amid all the court drama, and the running, tear-gas filled chaos witnessed after 2017 election. So the man learned to act conciliatory, agreed to the handshake, and commenced to erode any faith the man in The House On The Hill might had in his very ambitious and cunning deputy. The handshake was part of a strategy to eventually seize power legitimately, at least outwardly. Without it, he would never have gone anywhere close to State House, and even that first meeting must have been very hard. The tea Uhuru said they were drinking while making small talk, must have tasted like bile–with sugar or without.
