DP Ruto did not accomplish this in a vacuum: There were prevailing circumstances that made it possible. A key prevailing circumstance that allowed him to brilliantly strategise and execute his succession game was President Uhuru Kenyatta having been completely aloof as to his machinations. The President and his minders failed to see the potency with which Ruto was scheming and executing his quest for the presidency. With that handshake, Ruto’s brilliant strategy to succeed Uhuru was dealt a fatal blow from which he cannot recover. The wiser thing for Ruto to do is throw in the towel and beg for some crumbs in the new government formation, for no one can ever beat the system.
