Though Jesus was apprised of the uphill task which awaited him, he settled on twelve disciples instead of hundred or even ten of thousands. It is easy to manage a sizeable number of people than it is with a crowd.
The group had a number of dedicated figures who made Jesus' mission practical. Also from the group, Judas Iscariot rose, spied and leaked vital information to Roman authority betraying Jesus altogether.
Despite his great fame, DP Ruto has maintained a tightly knit circle of friends. This is the very group that is busily devising formulas to catapult him to echelons of power.
Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has over the years distinguished himself as Ruto's strong henchman and many are the times he has vowed to take a bullet on behalf of his boss. To show his reverence to his footsoldier, Samoei has severally been a visitor to Ngunjiri's family.
Kimani's latest move has however put his loyalty at stilts. In unexpected event, he proudly threw his gauntlets behind BBI report and that it is advocating. He had previously vowed to shoot down the amendment bill but he has failed to walk his talk drinking wine in place of water he has lived preaching.
In politics, every move is closely noted, questioned, analyzed and theorized and Ngunjir's is not an exception. Was the vocal legislature sending a message to his boss? Definitely yes.
Betrayals have been in existence since Jesus' time and they will keep recurring as long as man lives. Kimani has signalled Samoei to be cautious for whatever he thinks, he needs to think the opposite.
William could be living a lie thinking the brood of Mt Kenya leaders he is keeping will be of use come 2022. When the real match begins, chances are these political rookies will bolt never to look back where they once sheltered.
Instead of courting these newbies, Ruto should go for top heads who are seasoned and disciplined. Many will opine that Bahati MP did what he did for his palm was greased, this dents his conscious altogether.
