Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

Verse of the Day

‘… the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down…’ (Psalm 146:8).

Time to bite a humble pie

We had mistakenly revised our projection on Kenya 2020 presidential election succession politics

After a considerable analysis we feel that one Bungoma memorable speech by the deputy president William Ruto: we just had read too much

We are backtracking from placing William Ruto above the Senate speaker Kenneth Lusaka

As we had observed much earlier, Kings rarely are self made but they are projects of their predecessors

Unless there's a revolution not easy to pass the muster for Ruto via Wanjiku appeal and class identity politics

Ruto appeal is to hustlers but hustlers are not kingmakers

To win the presidency Ruto must be backed by Jubilee

If Jubilee dumps his presidential bid his dreams will be shattered

Few hustlers do vote in those nominations and those who are there are likely to align themselves with the status quo interests

Even in Ruto ringing Bungoma speech there was a candid acknowledgement that the kingmakers are now coalescing around an incognito Western presidential candidate

We know for sure Musalia Mudavadi is not that candidate for a simple reason he is not in the thick of things in Jubilee tent
