In exactly 21 days after William Samoei Ruto was declared president-elect, the Brits got Liz Truss as their Prime Minister on September. And 45 days later, the Truss era was over. Rishi Sunak with Kenyan origins is the new Prime Minister of Britain.
On the Kenyan side, the President is pleading for leniency in the assessment of his first month in office. Of course, nobody expects anything near the scenes in London to play down here. The two economies are worlds apart in democracy, socialisation, governance and values while in public office. But given our colonial heritage, Britain still remains the first line of prefecture should anything go so horribly wrong in our nascent self-rule to warrant external intervention.
