Those of you apprised with Animal Biology will agree with me that mutations is a vital process in a lifetime of any animal species. Its mutations which makes an organism resistant to diseases and environmental adversities. Mutations also improves the organism's traits increasing its survival chances.
In literary world, William Ruto is a Biologist and the above subject was a parcel of his university lessons. Its evident that the son of Sugoi has embroiled key concepts from the subject into his political career.
The fact that he has remained unbowed amidst the spirited fights staged by his nemesis points to a notion that he has mutated over the years. Those fighting him are using the orthodox means yet the son of Sugoi is a new strain with a new yet unknown protein surface. It will sure take political scientists years to learn and understand the structure William has taken.
Systematically, Ruto has passed through three distinct life cycles; under the apprenticeship of Daniel Moi, Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta. He learnt different lessons under the tutelage of the aforementioned leaders and these teachings he has interweaved them with his, this has made him one of the strongest political leader in the country. Those fighting him should know they are fighting four people in one.
Under Moi's leadership, Ruto learnt many lessons but among them is the power of deep pockets (this he learnt during his tenure as Youths for KANU treasure in 1992) in staging a well oiled campaign. 2022 elections are nineteen months away but William has hitherto spent millions of shillings in charities. A good hunter does not fire his arrows unnecessarily but incase he does, he trusts the size of his quiver.
He also learnt how to use every mean to get and secure power with this engraved in his mind and heart, William will stop at nothing but power. This lesson holds the answer as to why he has refused to resign amidst calls and humiliations. It pays to be in power than it does when you are outside.
Ruto also learnt to fight for power and defend it under the leadership of Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta respectively. With donkey's lessons within his reach and use, Samoei is no doubt a new strain which his oppressors have not mastered how it works. The fact that they have failed to dismount him over the years shows the complexity of his protein surface.
