Ruto’s Outburst and Ethnic Profiling of Luos Gives Kenyans a Reason to be Very Afraid

It is a wonder Deputy President William Ruto is still in the ring throwing jabs after all the drubbing he has received lately. Even so, the strain and concussion are beginning to manifest.

Ruto looks irritable. His recent pronouncement stereotyping a whole community as thuggish propagated negative ethnicity, betrayed his anguished soul and his feeling of insecurity despite a public facade of confidence. One does not need a PhD degree or to be a rocket scientist to get the inference in Ruto’s remarks.

It was unfortunate as it was uncalled for, especially from one who must win the trust of all Kenyans to realize his 2022 dream. Where Ruto should be judicious, he has thrown caution to the wind; the clearest indicator he is resigned to a fate he knows does not favor him.

Ruto should desist from pinning the act of a few incensed people who uprooted a railway line while protesting government excesses on a whole community. And given that the area where the rail was uprooted in 2008 is an informal settlement populated by all Kenyan communities, what right has Ruto to blame a single community?

William Ruto under fire from Kenyans following utterances perceived to be tribal

Ruto’s pronouncements are pure hate speech for which he should be taken to task, but the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, a leech by any other name, doesn’t have the spine to take him on.

If anybody says Ruto is not bright, they would be delusional; Ruto is a bright spark, alright.Later, having become an atheist, Stalin entertained the view that religion was being used to sanitise the oppression of the masses by the ruling class because religion would tranquilize their frustrations, making them endure and in the process, enable the ruling class to exploit them a lot more.

Ruto is Jubilees deputy president, a very powerful post from which he hopes to catapult himself to the presidency. Will he succeed?
