Kalenjins tell Uhuru to back Ruto for 2017 or risk CORD defeat

By Tagawah

Deputy President William Ruto fired another salvo to the Mt Kenya Mafia insisting the Jubilee government cannot win three consecutive elections.
Uhuru last year indicated that he
will go for the 10 years before Ruto dreams of owning State House. However, with the disastrous manner in which the Jubilee government has run public affairs,with sky-rocketing Standard of living, tribalism and mega corruption, it is a gone conclusion that Kenyans, known for pulling firsts, will not vote in the Jubilee Alliance three times consecutively.According to insiders, the Kalenjins are said to have categorically told Ruto to be at the ballot come 2017 and demand that Mt. Kenya backs
him; that way, he can too test the
whether the Kikuyus are ‘genuine
friends’ and, finally, he too can also have a look at those who fixed him at the Hague like Uhuru has done.
This will lead to the final
reconciliation and bring the ghosts
of the 2007 violence to rest.
Ruto’s statements were carried by
his hatchet man, the rebellious
Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter, who
told Uhuru to forgo his second term and back Ruto, then get back to the presidency in 2023.
Keter warned that with the high-
handedness in the Jubilee
administration, skewed employment and grand corruption, it is a pipe
dream that Ruto will be voted in
after Uhuru in 2013. So, the early
the better!
This negotiated democracy has
worked in Russia where Putin and
Meldev occasionally rotate who
becomes the President and who
serves as the Prime Minister just
between the two of them.
It can happen. If Mt. Kenya backs
Ruto in 2017 to a man, assuming
Uhuru agrees to this arrangement; it consolidate the whole Kalenjin vote bloc and once again (with a little rigging of course) Jubilee may maintain their hold on power.
But this arrangement will face the
first opposition by the Mt. Kenya
Mafia. It is no secret that mosts
Kikuyus are still apprehensive about the person of William Ruto.
Averag Kikuyus shudder at the
thought of Ruto being the
commander-in-chief more than even CORD leader Raila Odinga, or
Kalonzo Musyoka. Meaning, Ruto
must get express endorsement and heavy backing of the Kikuyu elites who will then, in the usual fashion,whip the holoi poloi of the house of Mumbi in voting line.
But assuming Peter Kennneth
becomes a spoiler, and gets ‘hidden’ backing of Uhuru as happened when Uhuru backed Kibaki in 2002 while
pretending to be himself a
presidential candidate; Ruto may
never make it, which will make
kalenjins be very mad and the
Kikuyu diaspora in the Rift Valley be very afraid.
