When the lion roars, the hyenas scatter,  so they said in ancient times. Yet, in our modern Kenya, when the lion of Sugoi roars, the hyena stays put, unmoved by the noise. Gachagua, the mighty jester of Mathira, will not be cowed by Ruto’s growls. And so, they dance, locked in a struggle not for the soul of Kenya, but for its carcass.....CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>

Let us begin with a simple truth: Uhuru was no saint. He stumbled, faltered, and in some cases, failed us. But in the depths of his heart, one could still find a semblance of decency. Ruto, however, is a different breed altogether—no heart, no soul, just ambition, greed, lies, incompetence, and guile.

When Uhuru took Ruto under his wing, it was as though a shepherd had welcomed a wolf into his flock. Uhuru believed he could tame him, but a wolf’s nature is to feast, not to protect. And feast he did, plundering with abandon. Lying without shame and threatening with gusto.

Fast forward to today: The wolf has become king. Ruto, now seated on the throne, devours not just sheep, but the very pasture that feeds them. But, as fate would have it, he faces a new threat—not from the people, but from within his own den.

Gachagua, the court fool, once content with scraps, now seeks a feast of his own. He has grown tired of Ruto’s shadow and seeks to stand in the sun, where he can also bellow and be heard. But herein lies the twist—this battle is both a gift and a curse for us.

Politically, the fight between Ruto and Gachagua is a spectacle, a revelation. It strips bare the illusion that was the UDA partnership. For ten years, they told us it was Uhuru’s failings that held them back. Now, with Uhuru gone, the truth is clearer than ever—Ruto was always the problem.

The puppet master has cut his strings, and his marionette is flailing. Uhuru’s silence is deafening; it tells us everything we need to know. He has left behind his political baggage, and in doing so, has revealed Ruto’s true nature—a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and Gachagua, a hyena gnawing at the bones left behind.

Yet as we laugh at the spectacle of these two clowns, we must recognize the darker truth. Their fight is not just a political sideshow—it is a disaster for our country.

Every day they bicker, the economy suffers. While Ruto and Gachagua trade insults from the rooftops, the cost of living continues to rise. Kenya, a nation once filled with hope, is now a sinking ship.

If you listen closely, you can hear the echoes of history. *“When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.”* We, the grass, are being trampled underfoot by these political beasts, while they fight over who should sit on the throne.

Now, there are whispers in the air—rumors of impeachment. Some believe that Gachagua can be sent packing, that if he’s removed, Ruto can reign unchallenged. But here’s the rub—Ruto and Gachagua are two sides of the same coin. You cannot flip one without the other.

According to our Constitution, the Deputy President cannot be impeached without dragging the President into the fray. It is a package deal. Remove one, and the other must follow. But will the powers that be allow this?

Impeaching Gachagua alone would be like trying to cut a tree by chopping at its branches—it is futile. The root of the problem is deeper, darker. And that root is Ruto.

Ruto, the man who mastered the art of deceit during his time as Uhuru’s deputy, now finds himself in the same boat he once rocked. The irony is delicious—he once plotted against his boss, and now his own deputy plots against him.

But unlike Ruto, Gachagua lacks the cunning to pull off a coup. He is too brash, too obvious. His incompetence is his undoing. While Ruto is a wolf, Gachagua is merely a loud, clumsy hyena.

As their conflict unfolds, it offers us Kenyans a rare gift—the gift of truth. For too long, we’ve been fed lies about the Kenya Kwanza administration. Now, we can see clearly who the real villains were.

The ten-year reign of Jubilee was a demonic rule, but not because of Uhuru. It was Ruto, the power-hungry deputy, who schemed in the shadows. And now that he sits at the top, his true colors are there for all to see.

Gachagua’s challenge to Ruto is a humiliation that Ruto richly deserves. It is poetic justice, a comeuppance for a man who has always thrived on undermining those around him.

But while we relish the political drama, we must not lose sight of the real cost. Every day that Ruto and Gachagua fight is another day that Kenya suffers.

The economy, already on its knees, cannot afford this spectacle. Investors are fleeing, confidence is eroding, and the cost of living is spiraling out of control. We are a nation adrift, with no captain to steer us.

Politically, the fight between Ruto and Gachagua is a blessing. It exposes the rot at the heart of our leadership. It reveals the truth that many of us suspected but were too afraid to say aloud: Ruto is the problem.

But economically, this fight is a catastrophe. We are a nation on pause, waiting for our leaders to stop bickering and start leading. But that day may never come.

The next three years will be wasted. Instead of governance, we will have grandstanding. Instead of development, we will have division. The rooftops will be filled with politicians shouting, while the people starve below.

And what of Ruto and Gachagua? Their fight will continue, but in the end, both will lose. Gachagua may be incompetent, but Ruto is the architect of his own downfall.

As the ancient proverb goes, *”When you dig a grave for your enemy, dig two.”* Ruto dug a grave for Uhuru, and now he finds himself staring into the second.

Their fight may give us political clarity, but it will leave us economically impoverished. Kenya cannot thrive under politicians  who prioritize their egos over the wellbeing of their people.

We, the grass, are tired of being trampled. But in this battle, we have no choice but to endure. For as long as Ruto and Gachagua are locked in their struggle, we will continue to suffer.

The political circus will roll on, but the economy will grind to a halt. The cost of living will rise, the shilling will fall, and we will be left wondering—how did we end up here?

The answer is simple: we were fooled. Ruto, the wolf in sheep’s clothing, has shown his true nature. Gachagua, the jester, is a distraction. But the real problem has always been Ruto.

So let them fight, but let us not forget: when they are done, it is we, the people, who will be left to pick up the pieces. *”The hunter may boast, but it is the prey that suffers.”* And we, the prey, can only wait for the dance to end…CLICK HERE FOR MORE ARTICLE>>>
