Paradoxically, in Kenya, Deputy President William Ruto has driven everybody into a funny spin. He has castigated the March 9 handshake between the People’s President Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta plus the resultant Building the Bridges Initiative wrongly demonising it as a vessel for dirty politics. Ruto, just like all Kenyans, knows that the current founding political matrix in the country is a direct result of a bitter political fallout caused by the messy 2017 General Election. The resultant upheavals, breakdown of law and order, military cum political chaos and all-consuming humanitarian crises have horrified the world. By this dare-devil anti-“national reconciliation and revival” crusade, Ruto comes out as a proponent of political demagoguery.
