William Ruto is the country's most followed, monitored and talked about politician thanks to his political aggressiveness and endearing nature. The firebrand is among 2022 presidential hopefuls who are looking forward to succeed Uhuru Kenyatta.
His presence in the ring has earned him friends and enemies at equal measures. Unlike pro-Ruto brigade which is pulling their bootstraps to catapult the former Higher Education Minister to echelons of power, anti-Ruto crusaders are erecting roadblocks to stop William's entourage from making their way to statehouse practical.
ODM chief Raila Odinga is one of Samoei's fiercest critics. Insofar, the former PM is perceived to the latter's main stumbling bloc. Ruto has however exuded confidence of trouncing Baba in 2022 race.
Agwambo is a political mercenary and before daring him to a duel, one needs to devise pragmatic methods to engage him. Will the man from Sugoi manage to give the veteran a rounded beating in 2022 presidential race? Maybe!
254 NewsDay has established that the second most powerful man in the country has been closely 'spying' and monitoring Raila's moves. With inside information of Baba's political intrigues, William has managed to insulate himself a transformation that is set to pay him off.
On his official Twitter page, Ruto follows 117 people among them is Raila's closest confidante, advisor and ally James Orengo. Let it be noted that the senior counsel is the only ODM politician followed by Samoei.
The above unusual ordeal begs more questions than it has for answers, why Orengo? Incase you want to poison the king, monitor the moves of his advisors, those close to him and in case you want to hasten the process, secretly court his cooks. This is the very thing the chief hustler is doing.
Orengo has been a pivotal pillar in Raila's camp for years and staking on his influential demeanor, he is the architect of Baba's political course. So? through him, Ruto manages to read and interpret the signs.
