This week, I am obligated to advise our Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to take columnists seriously if he wants to prove them wrong. When a rainmaker warns of rainfall and tells you you will be wet, the best way is to carry an umbrella to avoid dampness. That way, you can prove them wrong, not on the rain that must come, but on the painful outcome.
Therefore, I say that a seated newspaper columnist can see far more than a politician standing on a church dais. So, if president Ruto and his deputy Gachagua take columnists seriously, they will prove us wrong.
I will not reiterate what President Ruto and his deputy Gachagua said last Sunday, during a thanksgiving tour in Bomet County about columnists since it is in the public domain. But, in short, the DP asked columnists to stop advising them on how to lead.
