President William Ruto's administration has had two political forces to deal with at the local and international levels.
These are, first, the highs of thrills and, second, the 'lows' of adversity, despair, and frustrations. When excited, his team engages in chest-thumping activities that question whether he thoroughly thinks issues through before making public pronouncements. When cornered, his ability to generate political energy puts him in a pre-election campaign mood.
The stimulant for that obsession with campaigning is Raila Odinga, the perennial political campaigner who, with his 'saviour' mentality, repeatedly rejects electoral defeats. Raila, finding a political niche in the social economic hardships, started mounting maandamano whose effect was to increase underdevelopment and still blame it on Dr Ruto.
