As Kenya celebrated Mashujaa day on 20th Oct, people were very eager to hear what the leaders would say regarding their quest for power less than one year to the 2022 general elections, not forgeting that this was an event that brought all of them together in quite a long time.
The leaders have not had a promising relationship because they have been holding individual centered rallies, where each one of them uses their platform to uncover their competitors’ weaknesses and wrongdoings. Many people did not even envision a day with all protocols observed because it had not been happening in the recent past.
Inspite of all the different expectations, all protocols were observed and everyone had their role in celebrating the heros they owe allegiance to.
In his short speech when he was invited to welcome the President, the deputy president, Dr. William Samoei Ruto, acknowledged the good and reputable job H.E. president Uhuru Kenyatta had done with sweet and juicy words no one had mentioned before him in the event.
He also tactically mentioned his quest to succeed president Kenyatta after his term comes to an end in 2022. He said….. (paraphrased) I also would like to continue where you will leave your hard work, transforming the country in a combination of your big four agenda and my bottom up approach.
Whether it was because of the visiting Malawian president and her first lady or because of the millions of Kenyans who were waiting for his speech, Dr. Ruto’s was a very smart speech.
