[@francismbugua9226]

Mt. Kenya, we only have tugeges in positions of leadership by design. Ruto wanted idiots from our region who cannot understand the bigger picture to oppose his sins. He ensured only cowards were elected under his party. At the same time, WE residents of the mountain should bear the blame for agreeing to be hoodwinked into electing idiots to represent us. Next time, when these idiots come to us and say that education does not matter in leadership, we should know better. We need the best, courageous ones who stand with the people only.
