Go on holiday, Raila, if you don't like the idea of President Ruto

The current political situation threatens to get out of hand with protests and chaos orchestrated by a cabal who seem to believe that President William Ruto does not deserve to lead this nation. Such a belief stems from misguided feelings that some individuals should not lead this country. It is no surprise that after losing on the democratic front, many pretenders have even come up with proposals of rotational leadership amongst communities. Kenya adopted democracy as its guide in the 1990s but to date, some politicians still harbour anti-democratic and egocentric thoughts of a leadership that is handed down to a select few.

The acceptance of democratic governance means we go the whole hog or forget about it altogether. We cannot use democracy selectively, especially when it favours 'our own' and discard the same democratic principles when we lose on a level playground as happened on August 9, 2022.
