According to Jesus, there are two roads for Christians to choose from. One is broad and the other is tiny, the former leads to destruction and many are those who thread on it. The later road leads to salvation but those strutting in this path are few.
Its a matter of time before IEBC blows their trumpet to signal the start of 2022 general election battles. As expected of players, they have started rehearsing for the occasion.
Coalitions are some of the known catalysts that increases one's chances of occupying the house on the hill top. Majority of presidential hopefuls among them Musalia Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka and Gideon Moi have already formed their outfit dubbed One Kenyaa Alliance (OKA).
Raila Odinga is also said to be warming to join OKA and hitherto, he is helding talks with political operatives from various parts of the country. He recently held a productive meeting with Makueni county boss Kivutha Kibwana and the duo agreed to work together, Agwambo has also met with Gideon Moi, Muhoho Kenyatta, Mukhisa Kituyi among others, an alliance could be in the offing.
As his competitors jostle to erect a wall and increase their scoring chances, William is doing the contrary, he is following the path that is less travelled, will it lead him to ultimate victory? Maybe, maybe not.
Ruto is courting political rookies and poll losers instead of hiring seasoned, influential and productive players, he has left them for his enemies and as if thats not enough, he is confident of trouncing them, what a misdoing!
Though a tiny path leads to salvation, William's decision to stand alone and allowing his competitors to raise an army against him is not great a decision.
