When God first created the universe, there was order but immediately greed, curiosity and suspicion reigned in man's heart, things have taken a new twist. Nations are spending huge in weaponry and lucky are the countries with superior weapons for they are better placed to win battles.
There are some weapons which if left to land in some hands, it will be a catastrophe to the world, so? They are kept away from their reach. The unexpected schism between Jomo's son and his deputy has driven the duo into a wrestling ring.
As a chief store man, Uhuru has restrained William from accessing some of the best weapons in the country. Without these tools, Ruto's presidential bid may hit a cul-de-sac should Kenyatta II give the keys to anti-Ruo crusaders.
As Reggae maestro Dennis Brown sung years ago, No Man Stands Alone. Despite of his throbbing political career, Ruto needs support from some of the country's seasoned political operatives. Winning a presidential race takes numbers and to get those figures, hopefuls needs to join forces and form alliances with like-minded candidates, ain't that the strategy which catapulted UhuRuto to power in 2013, 2017.
The outgoing commander in chief is currently flaunting ODM mandarin Raila Odinga. He knows that a slight mess, will see the former premiere bolting out of Handshake camp and this will provide a fertile ground for a possible Raila-Ruto alliance.
To humble his deputy, Uhuru must keep Jakom to his bosom but he will easily lose should he catalyze Ruto-Raila reunion. Agwambo is one of the deadliest political weapons in the country, mess with him and you will end up having a strained groin.
Other political operatives with commendable following include ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and Wiper Party boss Kalonzo Musyoka. On 26/02/2021, the president met with the aforenamed leaders in what was dubbed as BBI consultative meeting but there is undoubtedly a script which was not aired.
At one point, MaDvd was alleged to be Ruto's secret running mate but since the former met with Uhuru, he pulled aside and he is currently building and strengthening One Kenya Alliance (OKA). Its speculated that Kenyatta's son will endorse OKA candidate come 2022, Musalia has also revealed that the alliance is looking forward to work with Raila Odinga.
By keeping all political titans to himself, Ruto is left with political rookies whose support will surmount to nothing. Staging a war against a bloc of well resourced and seasoned brigade will be a daunting task for the son of Daniel and Sarah Cheruiyot. From world war records, German lost the battle to their enemies who were better armed.
