As much as the President and some leaders from central have assured and keep promising Deputy President William Ruto of their support come 2022, Rutoshould not turn deaf ears to the statements being made by other politicians from the same region.
Going by the history, Central leaders are well known of their betrayals and loyalty to their own. They will tell you all you want to hear when they need your help only to turn their back on you when they got what they wanted.
TNA party has proven to have a very interesting manner of communicating sensitive messages to their friends.
Tony Gachoka, a close buddy of Uhuru told Ruto on national TV to shape up or ship out. Ruto was told not to mind the drunk, but the message was home.
Ruto has been told that 2022 'sio Lotto, ni ndoto', it is no less than Uhuru's own Governor, one Kabogo that was tasked with the errand. Later Ruto was told it was a sleep of the tongue, but the message was home.
In many occasions, Ruto had been told that there is no guarantee that he will be running mate next year. This was made by senator Paul Njoroge, a nominated senator.
It's high time for the DP to start treating these statements with the seriousness they deserve or else he will be disappointed come 2022.
