“On this day, we celebrate you [Uhuru] as our leader. Your place in the history of Kenya is secure and prominent. I want to assure you that together with my competitors, we will build on your legacy. We will not let any project remain incomplete,” those were DP Ruto praises remark on October 20, 2021 during Mashujaa Day cerebration at Wang’uru Stadium Kirinyaga County.
Coming from second-in-command, who might privy to classified information and talking plural roping on his protagonist. In Christianity sense, DP have seen the light, and in essence elevated President Uhuru Kenyatta onto a 2022 general election kingmaker.
“Economic activity in Kenya is projected to rebound from -0.3 per cent growth in 2020 to 5.0 per cent in 2021, and it is expected to grow at an average of 4.8 per cent in 2022-23,” said the global lender in its latest edition of the Africa Pulse report. While according to President Uhuru Kenyatta in his Mashujaa Day celebration speech, the global economy contracted by an average of 3.6% last year, and still Kenya’s managed to grow by 0.3% over the same period. And he [Uhuru] projected to grow by 6% concurring just slightly with Word Bank’s projection which if its becomes into fruition.
Then, if Uhuru decides to ‘tosha’ one of 2022 presidential contenders, his will tick since fundamental of election is positive economic growth unlike 2002 general election when the economic growth was negative, hence made his late president Moi a mirage. And for retired Mwai Kibaki had nostalgic 2007 post election violence with loss of lives noting security concern is another fundamental that decides voting. Hence Uhuru’s kinsmen were hellbent to reward him, as was assumed he saved them while Kibaki “asleep” at State House.
