I was told there are some very rich men from my Mt Kenya region whose choice I should follow.
I have never met them. I only see them on TV.
I think they should be the men I see in fuel guzzlers with tinted windows driving at high speed as head go home.
Am told they are very rich.
Am also told they can never roll down their black tinted windows in my neighbourhood.
They believe anyone who rides home on a bodaboda is a thief.
They are scared boda boda riders and others who walk by foot are thieves who might snatch their phones.
They also think riders can snatch their medical utilities thinking it's cash.
On the other hand there is Dr. William Ruto.
He's the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya.
I have met him twice. We shook hands. He waves at us whenever he drives by.
At one time, he inspired us with his life story.
I loved it.
Why should tycoons from my neighbourhood think I should listen to them.
Why do they think I should not follow a Deputy President who has no problem shaking my hand.
They say he is a thief
They feel i should remember that their grandparents were buried in the same neighbourhood as mine.
They think I should listen to them and follow their choice.
I say NO to them. I want them to continue thinking am a thief.
I will also stick to the man they say is a "thief". And may be, just may be, one day we shall know how much of their wealth was also acquired through some form of "theifery".
My choice remains Dr William Ruto.
Yes that William Ruto who was out empowering poor kenhans when corona came knocking.
My choice is William
