My last sojourn this week was in Kisumu City and, you guessed right, I wanted to see for myself how Prezzo Bill Ruto would be received there. For those who may have forgotten, when he last toured the lakeside city during the 2022 campaigns, his motorcade was received by stone "democrats."

This is an amorphous group comprising generations of men, young and old, who stake out in the streets and claim them as their own. To do any business in the streets, you must know people, if you know what I mean.
