The Kikuyu will firmly support William's Ruto presidential bid.

It has been said that the Kikuyu community are only loyal to their own, the assertions are far from the truth. The happenings in Kiambu during the recent NASA sojourns into the region paint a different picture. Prophets of doom have been salivating at the prospect of a fallout between the mountain and the DP, constantly reminding all and sundry how the Kikuyu community are only using him and will sabotage his 2022 presidential bid….folks, you are in for a rude shock.

 Esther Passaris was roundly heckled after she claimed the DP is a baggage to the presidency. The DP has endeared himself to the masses as the chief defender of the Jubilee government aptly capturing their minds and soul. His loyalty and friendship to the president despite historical differences between their communities will definitely be rewarded at the ballot come 2022 unlike Raila who destroyed any goodwill with the Kikuyu community for insistently fighting Kibaki despite being a key cog that delivered victory to NARC in 2002. Bravo William Ruto the president in waiting.
