Arrogance that felled mighty Azimio now in Ruto's Cabinet

  President William Ruto chairs a Cabinet meeting at State House, Nairobi, June 2023. [PCS]

Niccolo Machiavelli in The Prince, said, "He who becomes a Prince through the favour of the people should always keep on good terms with them; which it is easy for him to do, since all the people ask is not to be oppressed."

Mr. President, let your Cabinet members lecture the already troubled hustlers in a civil manner. They should remember that similar chest-thumping, pomposity and absolute arrogance felled the mighty Azimio in 2022.

We have not forgotten how some Azimio powerholders treated hustlers with contempt. They walked the Earth, implying that hustlers' votes were insignificant. They boasted of having the deep state on their side and rolled out a red carpet to power before the counting of votes was over, and there was, seemingly, nothing the hustlers could do.
