The unprecedented handshake between Uhuru Kenyatta and his longtime political foe Raila Odinga put Jubilee Party into a test of which it failed miserably to stand. Brothers have turned against each other and as of today, the once unified house is in shambles.
JP has split into two warring fronts; Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga. The former group comprises of Uhuru's confidantes with the later having pro-Ruto crusaders as members. Their immiscibility has seen William's wing receiving blows and kicks.
Despite of the political witch hunt, Ruto's allies are inarguably doing what Friedrich Nietzsche termed as avoiding truth to retain illusions. Those around the king will always take blame anytime the king stumbles.
It could be that Tanga Tanga lieutenants are hypocrites or more possibly, they lack the oomph to approach the king and tell him; King, you are naked!
'Hustlers Movement is unstoppable a force' is one of the most common phrases used by pro-Ruto campaigners. This statement is both deceptive and impractical and this Tanga Tanga is playing blind of, it will not be business as usual as they have made William think and believe.
Truth be told, Uhuru-Raila ticket will be a tsunami that will leave nothing unswept. Ruto's overconfidence is bordering hubris and this he will come to realize when IEBC blows its trumpets.
Agwambo prides himself of vast political experience and his endearing nature to Kenyans makes him a point of interest, though he has lost four shots,Ruto should not underrate him besides, mdharau mbiu hubiuka.
Ruto should stop listening to his advisors but instead refer Jubilee Coalition's 2013 matrix where the tyranny of numbers propelled them to power. Ruto's Rift Valley plus Uhuru's Mt Kenya region gave them a miraculous catch. Now, tell me what is set to befall William when Raila allies with Kenyatta II.
The second and ugly truth Tanga Tanga lieutenants don't want to tell their master is that Kenyans won't absolve Samoei of Jubilee's failures. He may play victim, but the truth is; he is part of Jubilee administration, a deputy president with powers and influence.
How can he blame and castigate his boss when he is still receiving his monthly stipends from the very government, instead of crying foul of frustrations, he should show by example by calling quits of his position and lead a salvation plan. But before that, he is part of Jubilee administration's failure and whatever the scorecard his master will get, his deputy will equally take credit for its accreditation, this Tanga² should remind him of.
