DP Ruto is toast! The marginalization of Ruto started right after the SCOK did not nullify Uhuru's sham election of Oct. 26, 2017. That day, the train left the station and Ruto was not in it. The marriage of convenience is done.
Did anybody think Uhuru went to see his Godfather "The Professor" of politics Daniel Arap Moi just to have tea! This was going to be Uhuru's last term and it was payback time.
Me thinks Gideon was just off frame in the pictures we saw of Uhuru's visit to Kabarak. He was later to emerge full frame receiving and escorting Presidents and other invited dignitaries to the coronation (inauguration), a task always reserved for the Vice Presidents.
In 2013, the "tuko pamoja" (we are together) mantra was in full glare, President Uhuru and DP Ruto decking matching white shirts and red ties, standing at the podium as the cabinet picks were announced. This time round, Arap Singh was not even consulted, and seems as his strategically placed confidants are also being shown the door.
Meanwhile, the Mt. Kenya leaders are no longer whispering. One is quoted as saying they are not wheelbarrows. Yet another said "Mt. Kenya does not lack leaders so that we elect people who have looted this country to the core."
If Uhuru survives the onslaught that is about to flood him after Rt. Hon. PM. Raila Amollo Odinga is sworn in as the People's President, Ruto will find himself being alienated even more. Ruto is toast. Forget 2022.
