Why William Ruto is a formidable force in the Rift Valley

The intriguing debate in the Rift on who should be the next "King" is interesting.

Those who have always critiqued Deputy President William Ruto are in for a rude shock in 2017 and 2022 because they may not be able to sustain their noise beyond 2016.

 The call for the referendum on OKOA KENYA and Pesa Mashinani for example has never received popular support or hearing on the ground.

The plot to stain the deputy president on corrupt allegations has never been proofed beyond reasonable doubt.

 The people on the ground have total confidence on the Deputy President as before unlike what is portrayed in the media.

The alleged support for Pesa Mashinani by the Rift Governors is dying a natural death. The former Council of Governors Chairman and Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto is slowly receding from the calls for referendum because he cannot convince the electorate.

More interestingly, Gideon Moi has little support in his constituency which may not match the triumphant support of William Ruto in the region and more so in the perceived Moi -Isaac strongholds.

Deputy President Ruto is very influential, patient and always speaks on what will come to pass. That is why the Rift shall always support him.
