President Dr William Ruto takes the oath of office at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi, on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. With him is First Lady Rachael Ruto. Ruto is in a less favourable position than the Kibaki of 2002 and 2013 Uhuru.
President Ruto has put his foot in international waters, with little risk, in the perfect emotional moment.
Surprisingly, Ruto is in a less favourable position than the Kibaki of 2002 and 2013 Uhuru.
He has little headroom, far greater expectations, fewer resources to work with, albeit with more tools, and a more favourable geopolitical environment.
