Ruto probably imagined this would be another familiar contest, tribal arithmetic, ethnic mobilisation, insults, body-shaming and the usual political theatrics.
But Sifuna has changed the battlefield. He keeps dragging the argument back to the Constitution, the rule of law, accountability and the limits of presidential power.
The self-proclaimed political doyen looks completely out of his depth.
Omwami ameleta mchezo tofauti kabisa. And Ruto is discovering, rather painfully, winning will require more than recycled slogans, theatrics and empty rhetorics.

Katiba symposium was a gargantuan joke
Latiff: “Are you aware your cabinet is unconstitutional”
Ruto: Ghfffvmlklnhuj, context, hhgfdsb, again in context, ghhffhh
Latiff: Is Parliament a rubber stamp of the Executive?
Sholei: Wait until I come to your show to answer rumours

He stood there as if asking for forgiveness, assuming Kenyans are stupid enough to believe the terror is over. It is not.
Rex Masai’s family is still trapped in that Thursday. Teacher Albert Ojwang’s son has no father because a post took a man into Central Police Station, and he never came home. Halima was pulled from her house. People are still being snatched.
Children in this country in some places still panic when a car slows down outside.
He wants this filed as “past mistakes.”
How do you ask for forgiveness for a fire you are still fueling?
An apology with no commanders in the dock is not remorse. It is condescension. It is a politician looking you in the eye and telling you to shut up while the tinted cars are still on the road.
He thinks rehearsed words will raise the dead, pay the hospital bills, and wipe the blood.
He assumes we are fools.
Forgiveness without justice is an insult.
Put them in court. Account for the missing. Stop it.
Or save the speech. Ruto Must Go
Why did Kasongo go to Emurua Dikir knowing that there were goons?
Kasongo cries and expresses his disappointment with goons attack in Emurua Dikirr that left several people injured during the altercation... Leaders allied to him decided to do supremacy battle.
He should have followed Murkomen's advice to avoid areas if informed by police that there are goons
