Why can't they both be wrong, you see, this is the problems with Kenyans, criticising Ruto means that I support Raila, and criticising Raila means that I support Ruto. This Ruto win goes beyond him winning, it's not even about him, the effects of his and uhuru's economic mismanagement will be felt fully after the latter leaves office.
Kenya's politics and civil service have always been hives of corruption, but with a weakening opposition, we are about to really legitimise this as a society. A lack of proper opposition is what made the first Kenyatta go crazy with power, and so forth. Every reasonable Kenyan should be praying for a strong opposition. Most things that Raila does anyway rarely benefits him, and the things Ruto challenges, end up working in his favour.
