William Ruto shows signs of losing tract in his first Jamhuri Day celebration as president.
Dr Ruto upset President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga's political calculations by scheming better than they could. But as president, he seems to rush into everything which occasionally lands him into unpleasant zones. This disappoints many who had high hopes in his presidency.
Ruto developed political knack for attracting attention by going against the odds to identify with 'underdogs' and challenge conventional wisdom. He was a junior operator in Youth for Kanu (YK '92), an outfit that seemingly had visible and invisible purposes. The visible purpose, which Ruto was aware of, was to ensure that Daniel arap Moi won the multi-party election. The invisible objective was reportedly to take over Kanu in case Moi lost.
