IS THE MOUNTAIN BECOMING SLIPPERY FOR RUTO?
Deputy President William Ruto is a man under seige politically. No matter how hard he is trying to hide it , it is coming out. Just like pregnancy which at its 8 months of maturity , it can't be hidden. Yes!!! And in Ruto's case , it is evident since he picked Mathira legislator as his running and his opponent in the Azimio la Umoja fold Raila Odinga picking Hon Martha Karua SC as his running mate. The Karua wave met him unawares. He didn't anticipate Raila Odinga picking her as his running bearing in mind , the Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party shareholders are Jubilee Party and ODM. To his mind , there is no way President Uhuru Kenyatta would have allowed Raila Odinga to pick a running mate outside Jubilee Party. To him , he was anticipating either Sabina Chege or Peter Kenneth to be picket. Machos.
Ruto is following closely the footsteps of Martha Karua in thr Mt Kenya region just the way poachers follows the steps of rhino or elephants in vast Tsavo West and East National Park. His aim is to neutralize the Karua-Odinga effect that is sweeping across the region. He can't trust his running mate to do that. The most hilarious thing is , it is Ruto who is introducing Rigathi to address the residents of Mt Kenya region instead of Rigathi introducing Ruto. Hilarious!! But why should Ruto do that, is he not trusting Gachagua? Infact he can't because of late , Gachagua's verbal outbursts have been causing more harm than good. He is trembling when he sees Gachagua holding a microphone. The paranoia in him is monumental and he knows very well , the many gains he is making in the region he has anchored all his hopes in as far as winning the presidential election come 9th August is concerned.
Ruto sometimes back in verbatim said that he is the new Mt Kenya region political kingpin. He also opined that , Raila Odinga who had just started climbing the mountain which has historically been voting aganaist him since 1997 , should borrow permission from him. Fine. If truly he is thr new Mt Kenya region Kingpin , he shouldn't be developing a cold feet when Karua is making political forays. Infact , he is done alone without the company of Raila Odinga. What will happen when the two will launch a charm offensive to the Mountain residents? Will he camp in this region for the rest of the official campaign period?
