Ideally, we all would want to have a fresh start with new faces. But how practical is that as the situation stands? You saw Ruto spending millions just to be seen with crowds in central. That is the first step to hoodwinking the rest of the country that he is still popular in a region where people believe he has the least support.
Risking another Ruto term by pursuing ideals could be too costly for everyone. You and me and another might vote for a new face but what good will it do if Ruto can buy 20 other villagers? As someone said, if we have to go for regional arithmetic to remove Ruto, it will be forgivable because if we don't, it will take us about 20 years to recover from the damage he will cause.
Lastly, Kenyans have been emboldened a great deal and will resist and call out anyone who acts against their interests. That spirit is not about to die. Gradually, people will have the leadership they deserve. By electing Ruto, people were expressing that desire. Only that he turned out to be worse than the bad we know. Ruto has collected enough money to buy entire regions and he is intent on using it. So, we are facing an extraordinary situation that might require compromises.
