The Holy Bible, from where President William Ruto seems to draw his political doctrines, opines that all and sundry are "fearfully and wonderfully made". Therefore, to try and compare Ruto with his former boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta is a task of incommensurable magnitude.
However, during his campaigns, Dr Ruto kept reminding his detractors that, "I am not Uhuru Kenyatta". So I ask, is Ruto truly different from Uhuru, and if yes, how?
My observation that some Kenyans have not yet beheld Dr Ruto as their president inspired this explainer. Since he is also Kenyan, I have heard critics accuse Ruto and his deputy of not coming to terms with the fact that they won the election and have the government on their shoulders.
