On Sunday minutes before DP William Ruto approached the PAG altar at Jericho and later at Kiamaiko Mathare, the DP tweeted a message that seemed to send Tuju spiralling down into hot political chilli.
The DP wondered how the Secretary-General of the ruling party CS without portfolio, Raphael Tuju had morphed into an opposition strategist a sin worthy only to be brought to the sun on a Sunday.
Like the story of the caterpillar and the grasshopper, the later going to check new grasses only to return and find a caterpillar in a well-guarded shell. Their agreement to infest the crops the next season seemed to be in disarray, soon the Caterpillar left its cage and flew to 'good lands' yonder. Tuju who the DP sees as a caterpillar is seen to have morphed into a pupa, guarded heavily by ODM 'napoleons' ready to pounce on any that points even a toe to Tuju. It is this shell that the DP wondered why it should not break and fly away early enough and leave the grass (Jubilee) for the true 'hoppers'. Tuju who appears to be developing wings has rubbed the country's second command the wrong way. The DP had to wait for a Sunday to release out the tweet.The statement has left Mr Tuju with hot chilli in the eyes to see well. But having survived former 'acid attacks', the strategist from Rarieda may still possess the eye-wash that has made him survive long enough in the ever wavering Kenyan political terrain. The gathering storm was later turned to a thunderbolt with Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria claiming that the ruling party had already 'died' and that attacks Tuju mirrored 'whipping on the dead'. The ruling party now seeming to travel in three formations leaves time as the only riddle - decoder; to which house it will tabernacle in the end.
