The wealthy men in the Kikuyu nation have been holding midnight meetings on how to deflate Ruto’s ambitions.
They, however, smile with him during the day, telling him how they are waiting with bated breath for 2022 so that they can crown him the Sixth President. The Rift Valley Mafia have been outwitted by their Kikuyu counterparts because they are very slow to action, and they trust too much even when history is replete with betrayals by Kikuyu leaders.
Jomo Kenyatta erected the first cornerstone of political betrayal when he shoved aside Jaramogi Odinga and Tom Mboya, who was murdered in cold blood in 1969. President Daniel Moi almost missed picking the baton from Kenyatta, thanks to Kikuyu oligarchs who believed they are the only ones who can lead. President Mwai Kibaki shredded the MoU he and Raila Odinga signed in 2002 and supported Uhuru. Kibaki again screwed another agreement this time with Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka.
[I][B]Those talking about saving UhuRuto’s MoU might as well be addressing the birds.
Ngombe ya Wenger, Barber to Barber midfielder ako kwa uwanja kweli? Kwa nini Mourinho anaacha hii okombe iende hivo? Am not happy. Anataka asumbue watu kwa EPL…
This is obvious. He knows it. The current plan is to win 2017 and still be in power. 2022 mipango yake haijatoka.
Inaweza kuwa ata kalonzo-ruto, raila-ruto, raila-pk, etc. Who would have predicted uhuru- ruto november 2007?
People forget that Ruto is also scheming. He is not a fool. His alliance with UK was one of convenience.His alliance with uhuru served several purposes.
First,he unshackled the kalenjin from tinga and hooked them to Uhuru. He therefore emerged as the sole kingpin of the kalenjin nation.
Second,he defeated the Icc cases which would have been difficult to do without state power.
Third,he acquired immense financial resources from both UK and his dealings in govt. Money is the lifeblood of politics.
Fourth, he emerged as a national player. His reach now extends all over the country. He was previously a village titan. Now he is a national colossus. URP, while largely a Kalenjin party, has penetrated Somaliland,Borana land, Narok,Turkana, parts of coast, Meru, kuria,Teso etc.He is busy grooming supporters and proteges while resucitating old networks. Even in central province he is grooming footsoldiers. You may find Ruto will have immense sway in the next parliament. Even in CORD he may finance proxies who will help him keep UK in check. It would be interesting to note that some UDF MP’s were receiving funds from hustler during 2013 elections.
In conclusion Ruto will enter the 2022 race as a frontrunner. He will be the leading politician from outside Mt. Kenya,since Raila would be retired.
Practically he will be retired. He may still make some noises but the fatigue will be too much. He may lose the ability to build a formidable political coalition to vie for presidency after 4 losses whether stolen or not.
Ten years in political wilderness is no joke. Also look out for the Governors who would have emerged as very strong players in our politics. Most wil be serving their final terms in 2022 and will be angling for renewed relevance on the national scene.
