Gachagua should cut ties with Ruto before it's too late

Many pundits are worried about Rigathi Gachagua's influence on Ruto's presidency in 2027. But, I daresay, nothing binds President Ruto and his deputy.

This supposition needs a lengthy reading of past and present politics.

First, former president Uhuru Kenyatta held onto his deputy William Ruto until both secured re-election in 2027. That was necessary because Ruto already dreamed of succeeding President Kenyatta. If Uhuru had dropped him in their first term, he could not have won the 2017 election.
