President William Ruto is playing one of the most sophisticated political mind games in recent Kenyan history. His statement that “many people told him Raila Odinga is not president and must not be accorded a state burial, but he dismissed them saying Raila was the people’s president,” is not an act of kindness it’s reverse psychology at its finest.
Ruto knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s speaking to three audiences at once.
First, he’s addressing the Luo Nation, sending a carefully coded message: “I respect your leader more than his own.” That’s emotional manipulation wrapped in flattery the kind that lowers resistance and wins sympathy. He’s turning the pain of loss into political capital.
Second, he’s speaking to Uhuru Kenyatta and the Kikuyu elite, saying: “I did what you couldn’t. I reached where you failed.” That’s a subtle taunt. He’s not just extending a hand of unity he’s reminding Uhuru that he now controls the emotional center of Kenyan politics.
And third, he’s messaging the international and national elite, painting himself as the “magnanimous statesman” who respects his enemies, a move meant to neutralize criticism and position himself as a national reconciler.
But the truth is, Ruto’s every gesture is a calculation. The man doesn’t speak out of emotion he plays chess, not checkers. By publicly “honoring” Raila Odinga, he is disarming opposition sympathy, rebranding himself as the healer of divisions, and preparing ground to raid Raila’s political base.
The same way he told Uhuru Kenyatta “I looked for you because we must build Kenya together” Ruto was not extending peace, he was collecting political collateral. He wants to appear above tribal grudges while quietly tightening his grip on every emotional fault line in the republic.
In short, Ruto isn’t just playing politics he’s manipulating perception.
He’s using mourning as marketing, respect as recruitment, and reconciliation as rebranding.
A trickster, yes but a genius one.
“A new report reveals the late Raila Odinga is the only top politician who never sued the media, even if criticized.” Source MOE here on X @moneyacademyKE . That one line says a lot about who Raila was, a man who believed in the power of free speech, even when it worked against him.
He understood that leadership wasn’t about silencing voices, but about listening, especially when the truth was uncomfortable.
To mourn Raila Odinga is to remember the father of Kenya’s democracy, a man who spent his life fighting systems that wanted to break him, and still showed up every single time.He might have had his flaws, yes, he was human after all, but there will never be another Raila. A man who turned pain into purpose, defeat into movement, and criticism into courage.
He taught us that democracy isn’t given, it’s fought for.
That freedom isn’t free, it’s earned through sacrifice, patience, and endless resilience. For decades, he stood where others feared to stand. He faced imprisonment, exile, betrayal, and still came back with the same message: Kenya must be free.
And maybe that’s why this loss feels so personal.
Because Raila wasn’t just a politician, he was a symbol of resistance, of hope, and of dreams that outlived generations.
He carried the voice of millions, inspired loyalty and criticism in equal measure, and through it all, he never lost his sense of dignity.
He wasn’t perfect. He made mistakes, took risks, and sometimes got it wrong, but he never stopped believing that Kenya could be better.
And that belief alone changed this country forever.
