Every King has a kingmaker, and every dictator has a 'dictator maker'-the reason why we say that dictators are made and not born. The plans to remove the presidential term limit are portentous. For this reason, we must warn Dr Ruto of 'dictator makers'.
The best way to groom a dictatorial regime is to have it under pressure to correct its mistakes. This includes the need to defend their weaknesses and those of their leaders. It starts with a ruler having people making so many mistakes that s/he needs to be accountable for but is unwilling to climb down.
