This is the Ruto pattern on full display: create the fire, then arrive as the firefighter.
🌻KRA hikes cargo valuation to KSh3.2M → traders protest → Ruto personally “orders” it back to KSh2.5M. Same script as the aviation strike: crisis first, presidential rescue second.
🌻Where are the CSs? The PSs? Silent. Sidelined. Spectators in their own dockets — while the President micromanages container freight charges that should never reach his desk.
🌻It’s not leadership. It’s stagecraft — manufacture the crisis, then take a bow for solving it. Sad, and exhausting, that this is how governance now works in Kenya
🌻When does he have time to look at the big picture of where the country should go?

The next person who wants to lead this country needs to stop telling Kenyans they have a plan. We are tired of hearing about plans. You already know the problems!!
Odious debt, corruption, a broken education system, a struggling health sector, unemployment and the high cost of living and so much more. None of these issues are new. Tell us exactly what you are going to do about them.
Kenyans don’t need another campaign built on slogans and promises. We need specifics, timelines and accountability. Anyone asking for our vote should first tell us, in detail, how they intend to fix this country. We already know the problems. What we’re waiting for are the solutions.
This business of saying, “We’re meeting, we’re consulting, we’ll unveil our agenda when the time is right,” is not going to work anymore. The time is now. Tell Kenyans how you will deal with the debt, what laws you will change to fight corruption, how you will fix public hospitals, what reforms you will make to education, where the money will come from, what you will cut and what you will prioritise.
WANTAM!!
