An endorsement or a rebuke?: President Uhuru Kenyatta on DP Ruto's 2022 ambitions

[@theressathuo1303]

President Uhuru Kenyatta and Dr DP Ruto have a high sense of humour. It gives us great happiness to see them laugh together and not at eachother.

[@Serahpaul84]

Aki i love when i see them together

[@rabbithare381]

I love the chemistry between our President and his deputy..... Kuna fitina tu hapo katikati yao..... I enjoyed watching that!!!!

Ametoboa Siri yakwamba walikuwa wameshikana pamoja na Ruto lakini hapo katikati Ruto aka-engage reverse gear. Ya pili ametoboa siri ya kwamba alikuwa aki-update Ruto kuhusu mambo ya handshake kwa hivyo Ruto awache kudanganya watu. And when the delegates responded in disbelief (because Ruto has been pretending that Uhuru played him) Uhuru told the delegates, "mulize, yuko hapa"! Ametoboa Siri ya kwamba Ruto is a conman operating in reverse gear. Ni kweli ametoboa siri.

[@guyoarero986]

[@johnsonriitho8926]

The president body language speaks volumes, of who he favors today in politics, please note key word is TODAY, in my opinion judging by Kenyatta body language he seems more cordial with odinga even as he speaks, he turns his body more towards odinga he laughs more at odinga jokes , I think the president is angry with Ruto, for the early campaigns, all in all Kenyatta seems to be rebuking Ruto while giving him fake smiles n laughter, lastly Ruto speech today can be analyzed as fearless, straightforward and emotive , I can see why many might be envious of Ruto he is too ambitious, for some who still believe in a hierarchy " ati after wewe ni mimi " alafu tumalizie na wale

[@roselynekamau3782]

You have analyzed well

[@georgeodhiambo598]

You are seeing what many are blind to. Uhuru finally has commented on some things that badly soured his relations with Ruto. That's not a light message to put across in public. To the point that when some delegates expressed disbelief at what he was saying about his errant deputy, he stated, with all due seriousness, "mulize, yuko hapa!" Such is not a light matter. It takes a great skill for a leader to let the world know that his deputy has been lying about factors that led to their soured relationship. A hi-five here and there was necessary to de-stress the situation.

[@johnsonriitho8926]

@@georgeodhiambo598 I am not sure Kenyatta is honest in his allegation, and if he was I think it's a situation where he told Ruto, I AM HANDSHAKING odinga, as compared to have had a dialog in a consultatative way, where RUTO opinion mattered, the president underestimated his deputy and thought Ruto was going to be coerced, don't forget in Kenya the president is alpha n omega, what he says goes, I wasn't expecting Ruto to raise up n challenge Kenyatta as being dishonest

[@georgeodhiambo598]

@@johnsonriitho8926 Follow Uhuru's presentation slowly with a good sound system and you will see (and hear) Ruto protesting over some other claim by Uhuru. So why do you think he could not protest over this very serious and public allegation over his mis(conduct) by Uhuru? I am not commenting on what I either wanted to or did not want to see or hear. I am stating what I saw and heard. But you or any other person are free to look at the same event with coloured glasses and report something distinctly different from what really happened. That's interpretation!

@@THERECAPGENIUS A dressing down is not a game. Enda "mos mos" - someone was told. "Stop engaging the reverse gear when I have directed that we move forward", the same fellow was admonished by his boss. "Stop pretending that I did not update you on handshake maneno, while you were fully in the picture," he was told right to his face. The fellow being publicly admonished with such phrases and more was none other than Ruto. It can't be a game. If your boss publicly admonishes with such phrases, it is another way of saying that he has no confidence in you. It can't be a game. We may not be certain of the people whom Uhuru has confidence in, but we obviously know one person he has no confidence in. And that person is his very own beloved deputy.

I don't live on the level of generalities and wishful thinking. I operate with specifics. Do you gerrit? And unlike you, I am not guided by shallow points like, "opinions za watu...take it or leave". The truth emerges when opinions clash and the superior opinion prevails. To fail to challenge defective opinions is to encourage mental laziness, thoughtlessness, and idle talk.
