The Court Ruling That Spoiled Ruto's 2022 Presidential Plans

With confidence, acute of vision and oomph to make practical of what 2018, March handshake had birthed, Raila Odinga and pro-BBI brigade hit a popularization campaign hard with Lucky Dube’s Reggae Strong song setting the tempo for what looked like a sudden paradigm shift of Kenyan politics. 

To Agwambo, the much awaited time for constitutional reform was finally here and as it is, nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.

Of the people who would have benefitted a big dime from BBI clarion call is DP Ruto whose relationship with his boss had turned frosty. 

The second in command had remained evasive of his stance but his paralinguistic moves cleared doubts. 

It’s no doubt that William was closely monitoring, taking notes and devising a formula by solely checking the manner in which BBI crusaders were doing their thing. 

High court’s decision to prematurely halt BBI train was a blow to Ruto who had not yet arrived a convulsive end of hisanalytical study.

If BBI bill had managed to make its way to Kenyans’ hand then two probables were expected; a pass or a fail and from these results Ruto was to tell if it will rain in2022 or it’s the scorching sun doing pressure ups. 

Raila who is perceived to be his greatest competitor had Uhuru’s backup and a loss in referendum would automatically mean, the central pole is no longer in place.

With this background information, Ruto would have seen the loophole of UhuRaila strategy, capitalize on it and when IEBC blows their horns, he will strike, hard, fierce and ruthlessly. 

As Chinese war strategist once put it; he will win he who knows where to strike and how to do it but High Court has denied Ruto this.
