That Ruto is cornered is no longer something to dismiss, because the political mood, the anger on the ground and the fractures around him are becoming harder to ignore.

“Ruto Must Go” can win an election, but it cannot run a country, and the opposition must now start telling Kenyans what happens after the celebrations are over.

Start with the national debt. Which loans will they honour, which ones will they audit, what happens to odious or questionable debt, and how exactly will they stop Kenya from borrowing simply to repay previous borrowing?

Then tell us what happens to this bloated government structure where almost every problem has somehow produced an authority, agency, board, council, commission, fund, secretariat, director general, board chairman, CEO, offices, vehicles and allowances.

Why, for example, does Kenya need a whole Kenya Water Towers Agency with its own board and administration to coordinate conservation of water towers instead of placing that work directly inside the responsible ministry alongside the existing forestry, water and environmental departments?

The government itself has admitted that some State corporations have overlapping or duplicated mandates and has been trying to merge or restructure them, which tells you the problem is not imaginary.

How many water agencies does one country need before water actually reaches people's taps, when we already have the Ministry of Water, Water Works Development Agencies, the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority, Water Resources Authority and other institutions funded from the same taxpayer?

How many agricultural boards, authorities and corporations do we need before farmers receive affordable fertiliser, functioning markets and reasonable prices for what they produce?

How many youth funds, women funds, enterprise funds and empowerment programmes must exist separately, each carrying administrators and operational costs, instead of creating one properly managed financing institution with measurable results?

Why do functions that could comfortably sit as departments inside ministries repeatedly become standalone State corporations requiring CEOs, boards, procurement departments, HR departments, finance departments, legal departments and expensive headquarters?

The opposition must tell us which State corporations it will abolish, which ones it will merge, which boards disappear on day one and how much money those changes will actually save taxpayers.

Tell us what happens to SHA and whether healthcare will continue being built around deductions, unexplained private technology companies and layers of agencies before money finally reaches the hospital treating the patient.

Tell us what happens to the housing levy, and whether government should really be collecting money from every worker, building houses, identifying beneficiaries, financing mortgages and competing with private developers at the same time.

Tell us what happens to university funding, HELB, school capitation and the endless experiments that leave parents discovering new education policies after schools have already opened.

Tell us what happens to county financing and whether governors will continue travelling to Nairobi every few months begging Treasury to release money that Parliament already allocated to counties.

Tell us what happens to corruption cases, because Kenyans do not need another government that arrives with its own thieves, protects them for five years and suddenly discovers corruption when somebody falls out politically.

Tell us what happens to procurement. Will every tender, beneficial owner, contract variation and final payment become publicly searchable, or will we continue pretending transparency exists when more than half of government contractors can remain hidden behind companies?

Tell us what happens to the police. Will the next president still call commanders when he wants opponents arrested, or will Kenya finally build a police service where an officer fears the law more than he fears State House?

Tell us what happens to the DCI, ODPP, EACC, intelligence services and other institutions that become extremely energetic when powerful people have private problems but suddenly develop weak knees when politically connected goons, killers and thieves are involved.

Tell us what happens to State House spending, advisers, presidential delivery units, special envoys, taskforces and endless committees created whenever somebody in government wants another office.

Tell us what happens to Cabinet size, principal secretaries, CAS style positions if they return under another name, government advisers and political appointees scattered through State corporations.

Tell us whether government vehicles will still consume billions transporting officials to meetings where they discuss why government has no money.

Tell us whether every new president will continue creating offices for election losers and coalition partners instead of forcing political parties to carry the cost of their own political settlements.

Tell us what happens to taxes, because promising to reduce taxation is easy until the same politicians enter Treasury and discover they inherited a government whose recurrent expenditure they are unwilling to cut.

Tell us what happens to pending bills, because thousands of businesses have supplied government, paid VAT, borrowed money to perform contracts and then waited years for the State to pay them.

Tell us what happens to electricity costs, fuel taxes, manufacturing, agriculture and small businesses, because Kenya cannot tax itself into prosperity and then wonder why investors move production elsewhere.

And most importantly, tell us what happens to the structure of political power itself.

If all the opposition is offering is another president controlling Parliament, influencing prosecutors, intimidating independent institutions, appointing friends everywhere and borrowing billions with no consequences, then we are simply preparing the next “Must Go” movement.

Ruto going is now a reality.

But Kenya cannot spend the next year discussing who takes the cake without asking why the cake is this expensive, why so many people are eating from it and why ordinary Kenyans are always the ones paying for it.

[Yoko @Kibet_bull]

I want to ask Ruto the article of the constitution which says,

1. Abduct
2. Shoot on the legs
3. Use goons
4. Use masked men
5. Kill and compensate

Since he was busy quoting the constitution today.

@amerix They actually are the problem.

[Eric @amerix]

If you are a Kenyan,

You must have seen a sustained narrative claiming that your president and his deputy are at loggerheads.

They are NOT.

You must have heard that the president is persecuting his deputy just the same way the former president was at loggerheads with his deputy.

They were not.

Here is the thing,

The system keeps you in a sustained political debate.

This artificial conundrum is designed to distract you and vex your spirits.

This debate is meant to sow divisions among citizens.

The system thrives in confusion, division and distraction.

Listen,

The social stratum has the wealthy, the middle class and the poor.

The poor are busy looking for survival, they have little time for political correctness.

The wealthy are busy looking after their wealth by funding politicians to write legislation that will continue making them wealthier.

The crux of the matter is in the middle class where you and I sit.

These are the pawns of the game. They are educated but are idiots.

They are the ones who go to the queue for voting.  (The poor don't vote unless induced by money).

The middle class are the noise decibels.

They are the donkeys that work hard to feed the rich. They are heavily taxed.

They are the fools thrown into a heated circus to hate each other, create divisions and distract themselves.

They claim to be learned but cannot decipher the political con game.

The middle class are the ones with big televisions, smartphones and computers. It is here the rich pay the media to sow seeds of confusion and distraction.

It is only a foolish Kenyan who thinks the political crooks from both ends of the political divide don't meet privately to laugh at how they have divided the masses.

It is only a foolish citizen who thinks politicians serve them.

They don't and will never.

Politicians serve

• The World Bank

• World Economic Forum

• IMF

• USAID

• UKAID

• America

• Britain

Refuse to be drawn into imaginary conflicts.

Focus on your goals.

Mobilize your energies.

Politicians won't save you. They are part of the problem.

@lynn_ngugi1 There 3 things Kenyans should adopt until our leaders realize we mean business,giving them one term,revolting agaist bad leadership and exercsing the right of recall as entrenched in the constitution without any Mercy.

[Lynn Ngugi @lynn_ngugi1]

Let’s address the elephant in the room because I feel like many people don’t want to have this conversation😳

So the plan is to vote for Sifuna simply because he can help get Ruto out? As long as Ruto is gone, then we’re good? Haven’t we been here before? Isn’t that exactly how Ruto benefited from the anger against Uhuru&Raila ?
And before that, wasn’t Uhuru’s victory also driven in part by a wave of sympathy over the ICC cases and the feeling among many supporters that it was time to stand with him and push back against those they believed were targeting him? Look at how Uhuru’s administration left this country? Haven’t we already seen where voting out of anger or emotion, instead of demanding better leadership, leaves this country?

The next election cannot just be about who is most likely to defeat Ruto. It has to be about who has a clear plan to deal with corruption, protect the Constitution, end abductions and extrajudicial killings, fix our broken healthcare system, reform education, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, tackle public debt, restore independent institutions and ensure there is real accountability in government.

I understand the thinking. The common enemy is Ruto, and the enemy of my enemy quickly becomes a friend. But I refuse to believe that after everything this country has been through, Kenyans are ready to settle for people with serious questions hanging over them simply because they are the fastest route to removing one man from power. A perfect example, Aisha Jumwa😂

We cannot keep voting against someone. At some point, we have to start voting for something. Otherwise, we’ll keep changing faces while the system that keeps failing Kenyans remains exactly the same.

@lynn_ngugi1 Personally the only person I can vote for is the one who can commit to kill corruption and burry it to the grave,prosecute past corruption cases,recover stolen wealth and jail all the beneficiaries..

@sholard_mancity Guy never admits that the first step taken by the developed countries like Singapore was to end corruption,lack of that admission makes everything else He says irrelevant.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Almost every Kenyan now knows a relative, friend or former colleague who once lived comfortably, paid bills without begging and supported others, but has now been reduced to borrowing for food, rent and school fees.

Where exactly is this “investor confidence” Ruto keeps talking about when ordinary businesses are dying, incomes are collapsing and formerly stable families are becoming desperate?

The only people enjoying this economy are Ruto, his friends and those feeding from government deals. Everyone else is being told to celebrate figures that have no relationship with the suffering on the ground.

[G paul @gpaulngari]

@C_NyaKundiH Amesifu Zimbabwe..🤣🤣🤣

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Ruto can read all the reports, charts and manufactured data he wants, but the real economy is on the ground, where businesses are closing, taxes are choking traders and families are struggling to survive.

His investor-confidence jaba cannot rhyme with empty shops, collapsing businesses, job losses and Kenyans whose incomes disappear before meeting basic needs.

You cannot govern through PowerPoint presentations when the country outside State House is suffocating.

[G paul @gpaulngari]

@sholard_mancity All we want is a president who will commit to end corruption fully,prosecute past corruption cases,recover all stolen money and jail the beneficiaries.

[Moe @moneyacademyKE]

Speaking during a development cooperation conference in Sweden, former CBK Governor Njuguna Ndung'u said Kenya's President has overrun state institutions, leaving officials to comply out of fear.

@ledamalekina Today Iam jobless becouse the company I worked for could not cope with governments demands,I was being deducted house levy but I dont have a house cos I can't afford them,what wil youl tell the millions of us in this situation?.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

I have watched Kenyan election cycles long enough to know that voters are repeatedly manipulated using poverty, fake humility, tribal excitement and carefully packaged personal stories that have nothing to do with competent leadership.

Kenyans were once told that Uhuru Kenyatta was already rich and would never steal, yet his rule ended with endless questions about lost billions, he even looted Eurobond money to build Northlands City and gave corrupt bank NCBA tax exemptions, at a time many businesses were struggling and being harassed by KRA.

The same voters later elected Toto after turning a motorbike campaign into proof of leadership, as though poverty, cheap clothes and struggling to reach rallies automatically made someone honest, intelligent or capable of representing the public.

Some people even collected money from rival politicians and delivered it to a so-called poor candidate named Mutai, only for him to enter office and disappoint the same citizens who treated his financial struggles as evidence of integrity.

Kenyan politicians have learned that voters rarely demand records, competence or clear plans when they can be distracted with tears, wheelbarrows, motorbikes, torn shoes, humble backgrounds and rehearsed stories about suffering.

Poverty is not leadership, youth is not leadership, struggling is not leadership, riding a motorbike is not leadership, and looking miserable during campaigns does not mean someone will become honest after entering office.

Kenya keeps electing people out of sympathy and then spending five years complaining when those same people become arrogant, useless and unreachable after gaining access to public money, government vehicles and political influence.

An Election should not become another charity drive for ambitious politicians who have mastered the art of appearing poor, because public office is a serious responsibility and not a reward for the most emotional campaign story.

@C_NyaKundiH This confirms then that anybody working for Ruto is a dealer

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Former Treasury CS Njuguna Ndung’u has confirmed what Kenyans already know. Ruto has reduced state institutions into frightened departments that obey him without question.
