In less than 50 days, Kenyans who have registered as voters will be voting in for their next President to take over the reins of power from Uhuru Kenyatta who will be retiring in August.
Raila Odinga of the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition and Deputy President William Ruto of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) are the front runners in the State House bid.
Ruto is banking on the ‘Hustlers’ while his bitter rival Raila Odinga is heavily relying on the ‘Deep State’ and the Mount Kenya Billionaires to win according to the Kenya Kwanza bandwagon.
However, on Monday, June 20, social media commentator Gordon Opiyo claimed that the safety and hope of the millions of Kenyans will only be guaranteed under the deputy president William Ruto.
Opiyo who shares his stinging and hard-hitting political opinions and commentaries on his social media platforms argued that the rich are splashing their wealth on a Raila-Karua ticket so that they can safeguard their interests.
“They know that Raila and Karua can be used to dupe Kenyans,” he said in a long Facebook post.
He however stated that to deal with a few billionaires who want to milk the country dry, the country needs someone as ruthless as William Ruto and hisb2022 presidential running mate Rigathi Gachagua to deal with them.
“These Oligarchs need ruthless people to deal with them. Only ruthless people like Ruto and Gachagua can help us stop this State Capture and Privatization of Kenya,
“We can deal with Ruto later, but right now he is our only hope to stop this Total Takeover of Kenya…. A vote for Ruto is a vote to Liberate Kenya from their hands,” Opiyo said.
