President Ruto must do better than Uhuru to prove critics wrong

President William Ruto addresses the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, New York, United States.

"They said you could not make it. Prove them wrong," counsels Jon Jones, American professional mixed martial artist. No other person should find this quote useful than President William Ruto. Indeed, Dr Ruto will outdo Uhuru Kenyatta because he has much to prove.

There is no doubt that Ruto must perform if he has to prove his critics wrong. Unlike Raila Odinga, the 2022 campaigns soiled his image and a critical number of Kenyans still believe that his government will fail. I have heard a plethora of propaganda, which dominated his opponents' campaigns, that, if elected, Ruto could cut the last life cord of Kenya.
