A year after President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua ascended to power, I bumped into a friend of mine who was their overzealous supporter.
He asked me to assess the performance of the regime so far. I replied that my initial skepticism had only increased. I assured my friend I was not prejudiced against the two because of their past association with the Kanu dictatorship, Ruto having been a member of the notorious YK’92 pro-Kanu lobby group and Gachagua having been a ruthless district officer.
