Is Ruto jinxed?
Some people are born losers. William Ruto has been losing since Moi was routed. I believe that this is because of a curse that befell him when he physically attacked an older man, Rueben Chesire in the corridors of state house. Chesire was old enough to be his father, yet without thought and very viciously he rained blows on the poor old man. Chesire’s health went downhill until he died.
Ruto’s other big political battles have been mired in controversy, corruption or bloodbath. Take the recent constitutional referendum where he led the Kalenjin to humbling loss. Or his previous confusion over the constitution where Uhuru and his cronies manipulated and used him like a child leaving him leaking his wounds and on the very wrong side of history.
I won’t even get started on PEV, ICC, maize scandals, court cases and what have you… it is instructive to note that irrespective of Ruto's innocence or guilt, he has always been the one holding the wrong end of the stick.
Now he is losing another battle. This is what came off the incendiary Muranga rallies, where, according to press reports; Ruto has now agreed to support Uhuru for the presidency, possibly settling for ‘VP’. Uhuru was crowned. In your face! So, now Uhuru Kenyatta is better than William Ruto?
And what is this story that appointments to State House have suddenly dried up? My, oh my! maybe they will resume.
Supposing, just supposing ODM were to present another Kalenjin for president? One of the most stupid thing anyone can do in politics is to burn bridges with his ‘enemies’.
Damn! Politics is not for fools!
