William Ruto is not a hustler but pedigree dynasty

In essays from the ‘Nick of Time: Reflections and Refutations’, Mark Slouka could not have put it better when he observed, “History resists an ending as surely as nature abhors a vacuum; the narrative of our days is a re-run sentence, every full stop a comma in embryo”. A narrative of our time has been conceived, condensed, preached and is in the process of being internalised that the political landscape is a dichotomy of “dynasties” and “hustlers”.

The dynasty are the skilled, connected, experienced, powerful and rich individuals with blue blood running in their veins whereas the hustlers are the struggling, powerless, disconnected and poor individuals with green blood running in their veins. The aim is to whip the ‘hoi poloi’ to overthrow the skilled hands in the land and install a new set of individuals who are raw, malleable and spineless in order to create a new “dynasty”. Retrogressive, vindictive and antagonistic times are here with us.
