DP William Ruto has one best option to keep him authoritative and respected countrywide - moving from one region to another; that is 'kutangatanga' as many put it. He should give a deaf ear to the top critics who are using the Swahili phrase to cool his political motive.
In order to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta, DP Ruto has less than two options. This is the one big option, though so obvious but he cannot avoid it, he must seek popularity. Popularity cannot come to his office in search for him but he can move around to search for it.
In his current political position, William Ruto has the best occupation with space and resources to ensure he is famous. For instance, Ruto can go deep into scrutinizing the ongoing probes on corruption. This should make him visible, and as you know fame is being visible hear and there.
Any fears of rift and cracks within the Jubilee party should not be a worry to the deputy president. What Kenyans need to see is a working, committed and concerned individual. Infact, once you volunteer yourself to stand firm against graft, you have already won.
It will not matter whether William Ruto worked for Kenyans during the first term as a DP, it is the second term that matters. Those calling Ruto's 'kutangatanga' a earlier campaign for 2022 are already fearing and they just can't wait to discourage him.
Thus, for a better performance, it is very good to prepare adequately and in prior. For DP Ruto, it should not be a campaign; it is a move-around to inspect, supervise or confirm the progress of the government projects. On the process, this will earn the 'Hustler' a significant amount of popularity.
