He is only a week in office, but President William Ruto already faces immense public expectation. His job will require a fine balance between three roles: socio-economy, governance and security. His actions will be judged from their economic, social and political impacts.
His agenda will need to holistically practice five things - good policy, planning, public finance, service delivery and foreign policy. The first four will define the international response to his presidency. Because these four are, in their negative, the ills that define Kenya's corruption. Then there are the "hustlers".
By the time of this writing, his key nominations to deliver his agenda have probably already been announced. Parliament will vet his choices by peering into these persons and their personalities.
