When I attended two of Uhuru’s campaign trails in Central Kenya, at Nyahururu Stadium, in that matter. No manifesto pronouncements, but rallying call to save from “Kimundu giki” this monster [Raila], Ngai [God], “nikunjoha” he shall jail me, because I saved you. And the crowds responded passionately in affirmation to ‘save’ him [Uhuru], of which they kept the promise.
I opines that why Raila has seized the handshake opportunity, to be very faithful to Uhuru, that now Uhuru, will find it morally wrong, to abandon a friend in did and deed.
It is this point in view. Deputy President William Ruto realized. And hurriedly addressed the press at his residence in Karen, Nairobi, on 21 August, a day after Appellant Court put a brake on Building Bridges Initiative [BBI]. Where he promised to mobilize MPs to pass critical items of the Big Four agenda to give more life to President Kenyatta’s leacy projects.
So, one wonders, why change of heart after championing his bottom up model contrary to his boss for almost four years?
Me think he [Ruto] is trying to endear back to Uhuru’s sizable fanatical followers who seems ready now to give Raila ‘hosana’ to climb the mountain for standing with their man.
