DP Ruto summed up his last campaign pleadings with harambee clarion call. While, Cabinet Secretary George Magoha on Friday, August 05, 2022 one day to the end of campaign period announced 60% of Competence Based Curriculum [CBC] classrooms were complete. What the connection?
The connection is that, those classes could had built through public harambees in former regimes especially during Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and Moi eras. A development based feat President Uhuru Kenyatta envisaged to phase out. But DP Ruto stubbornly could not let go, for it was a convenient platform to endear himself to campaign 24/7 at institutions of learning and worship.
After President Uhuru Kenyatta patience ran out, he tagged him [DP Ruto] as “Kijana wa kutanga tanga,” a tag that birthed “Tanga Tanga” vs “Kiweleweke” factions.
