The current political climate seems to be unpromising to the unity built by the handshake in roughly a year ago.
The fight against corruption has triggered several reactions; some supporting the scrutiny while others complain of being targeted.
For DP Ruto, being in government, he should be keen on the choice he makes in his utterances to avoid contradicting the government's stand.
In fact, as a Deputy President, William Ruto should be in the front line in fighting corruption and also stand with the investigation bodies.
By so doing, DP Ruto should not term the DCI amongst other bodies as discriminative.
Actually, most of the leaders who are heading in the investigations were just appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta, therefore, blaming them is out of order and shameful.
Despite being doubtful in the ongoing scrutiny on corruption, Ruto should be keen to avoid any verbal altercations which could cause rifts between him and Uhuru.
As a matter of fact, pointing out that the anti-corruption bodies are biased, politically, it can be a critical point to widen the rift in Jubilee Party.
Those anticipating to see the ruling party disjointed could be very happy seeing DP Ruto issue statements that contradict the stand of his boss, President Kenyatta.
This could potentially kill DP Ruto's political ambitions in 2022.
In conclusion, Ruto should continue being the honest 'hustler' he has been to his boss.
The latter is focused on leaving a legacy before his second term comes to an end; therefore, Ruto's part should be ensuring that their friendship remains strong.
