The political upheaval is a poisoned chalice for President William Ruto. He shakes hands/leg with Raila Odinga, his hardliners led DP Gachagua will be up in arms.
#RutoCatch22
President turns down the hand/leg propelled by mob stones, he alienates 48 per cent of the population. #RutoCatch22
Raila/Martha/Kalonzo may not be angling for state jobs after all. But blunders by the Government have propelled them to stardom.
#RutoCatch22
Suppose Ruto allowed demos with well drawn routes? Will Raila stone throwing army persist?
Ruto hardliners demand Raila must stay out of Government. Because he lost
#RutoCatch22
They claim Raila is used to gate-crashing power. But they forget he has lost narrowly and twice suspiciously... Viz 2007 and 2017.
#RutoCatch22
While this argument is valid, there is no denying that Raila's Chi has deserted him many times.
It would appear his Chi wants to appease his through handshakes.
#RutoCatch22
So why is Riggy G cagey? He knows that a partnership between the President and Raila will finish him politically.
Infact, political analysts say that were Ruto to retire, and Gachagua and Raila are on the ballot... Ruto will vote Raila.
#RutoCatch22
Gachagua was not the first choice running mate. But he is a political bully who gets things done.
The Raila Ruto handshake will consign Gachagua to the periphery... because Raila and Uhuru Kenyatta are a package
#RutoCatch22
Political demons invaded #Northlands on Monday. The demons were speaking with a heavy Nyeri accent...
Infact, Kiambu demons wanted to retaliate. But were restrained by people close to the retired President
#RutoCatch22
Effectively, the Northlands invasion is the final straw in the fragile relationship between the retired President and DP Gachagua
And so when, not if Gachagua is finally isolated by the Big 3 and peace returns back to politics, he may need Raila
#RutoCatch22
Analysts will have noted that Kalonzo is now spotting the Jeshi La Baba Uniform. Meaning he is feeling emboldened by unseen political developments
#RutoCatch22
The Northlands stolen sheep belong to Kenya's first lady Mama Ngina.
The last time Mama Ngina spoke in public was to dare the Government to auction her property over tax evasion.
#RutoCatch22
No regime has ever dared to touch the Property of Mama Ngina, leave alone steal her sheep.
Northlands was owned by the Kenyatta family long before Uhuru left primary school.
#RutoCatch22
The political fumes from that invasion, stealing of sheep and burning of the remnant vegetation will consume a political career.
Never mind Mama Ngina is a good friend and associate of ancient Kitui County people.
