The story of Job is an epic example that life is indeed unpredictable. Once prosperous and lucky a man, things changed too fast such that his famous three friends took days to belief a scary site before their eyes, poor Job!
Worth a note and flaunt is the manner in which his friends consoled him. Though they failed miserably to woo their 'bro', Elihu, a bystander, young in age and experience could not control his anger when Job was Justifying himself and blaming God.
Elihu disputed the famous; With age comes wisdom sage by unapologetically telling off Job's friends of ineptness; ''Its not growing old that makes us wise or helps us to know what is right, but it's God who gives us wisdom (read Job 32:9).
Of the country's three political bigwigs, DP Ruto is the youngest of them all. As expected of young, he should bow when elders pass by but that is not the son of Daniel and Sarah Cheruiyot.
William is a daring politician an attribute his nemeses have mistaken for impertinence, he challenges his boss and elders to a duel but worth a mention is his ingeniousness which according to Elihu is God given.
UhuRaila had joined forces to propel BBI sidelining William in the process, the latter decided to be a bystander and wherever the wise and old spoke with confidence, clarity of vision and conviction of attaining their mission, Ruto unblinkingly told them vidhu vijechanga and not unless they become accommodative to divergent ideas, their train was bound to hit a dead end.
Ruto faulted the way BBI was born and structured, he was of an opinion that hustlers' plight could have been of a great concern but his critics proposed he concentrate on his wheelbarrow and Mkokoteni politics. Months later, see who is laughing!
UhuRaila have no doubt learnt number of lessons among them there is an ever widening gap between theory and practical. All they saw was a unstoppable train manoeuvring its way successfully to the terminal but life seldom listens to your wishes.
None knows about tomorrow, anti-Ruto crusaders have been of belief and opinion that the man from Sugoi has no future in Kenyan politics, unless they are God, life has a funny way of proving you wrong.
Ruto has sure reminded UhuRaila that the very stone builders reject ends up becoming a cornerstone. For years now, William has been fought, humiliated and frustrated but whatever ingenuous he has done to remain politically afloat, only him knows, what is this man hanging on?
