A political analyst has caused a stir online after he advised Deputy President William Ruto to take a break from political activities to regain his energy.
Arnold Maliba, on a live show, observed that the DP appeared tired and fatigued during the Sunday night interview with NTV's Mark Masai and said he needs to ease off for some days.
Speaking on the same TV channel on Monday, the analyst said Ruto gave a poor show and should rest to renew his political energy.
"The handlers of the DP should recommend two weeks bed rest. He looks tired. He needs rest so he repackages and comes back," Maliba remarked.
Tweeps were quick to respond to the sentiments, some saying there was no need for the analysis as they had watched the interview.
Here are some reactions as posted on Twitter:
Eve Namvua Manon said: "Is this analysis really relevant? We watched the interview and were are able to draw our own conclusions of it."
"Body or conscious rest? His conscious is what is bothering him," posted Kennedy Omogi.
Parkside Road safety posed: "Tired doing just what? Asking please."
Dr Wanyama Aggrey (Ph.D.) stated: "I agree. The good DP is visibly fatigued. The 2022 frustrations are not helping things for him. He should relax, the handshake is more beneficial to him than it is detrimental. Ask Aisha Jumwa."
"Well said. When you fail to find fault in someone you become petty," Fkm Kenya hit out at the analyst.
Abdille H. Dahir posted: "Petty TV analyst. Ruto is your age. Make a life."
"Kutangatanga tours taking a toll on him. His wife should advise him to relax. A road or project destined to be built whether he launches it or not. Even the sub-county commissioner can launch it," said Abu Daud.
Arap Kotet said: " Ruto is young and energetic and will only rest when Kenyans ask him to do so."
"No transparency of dialogue #gang of anti-Ruto in NTV studio saying a lot of nothing! @kenmichungu be professional!" remarked Peter Yator.
"Very useless and subjective analysis," said Ombati Geoffrey.
