A week is a long time in the life of our spanking new Prezzo Bill Ruto, who is suddenly swamped with lunch dates with kings and lords from far-away lands. He is still away as I write this, still lunching with more kings, I presume, although I saw him on a bus, smiling so broadly, we could see his wisdom teeth.

This time, he didn't use a malfunctioning iPad in his address, as he did in Kasarani; he had an invisible teleprompter that made many hustlers think he was speaking from the heart.
Hear him: "In many respects, the Covid-19 pandemic stripped us of many illusions and exposed stark justice and solidarity deficits in the face of existential crisis..." When did our hustler Prezzo start speaking in such complex terms?
