DP William Ruto is the next unstoppable political tsunami in Kenyan political arena. He has achieved a lot and more is on its way as he eyes State House. However, he is the next Raila Odinga. He will walk the path of Raila Odinga apart from detention and other ugly liberation fights.
The passionate enemies that Ruto has will continue to increase. Some will hate him to the extent of opposing everything that he fronts whether it is for the common good of Kenya or not. Ruto should be ready to face these foes as Raila has done. He must develop some special wisdom that will help keep calm when rattled.
The second thing that makes Ruto the perfect heir to Odinga’s political woes is the journey to State House. Raila Odinga has vied for the top seat in land four times and going for a sixth shot after the Supreme Court nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta’s win. This will be the same scenario with William Ruto. Political power brokers who fear Ruto will invest in his downfall making him a perfect king maker.
