The only problem in life is where to stand, once you find it however, stand rooted, stand tall and stand proud. In other words be consistent and stand by your word.

| Mr. Flip flop Ruto |
This quality of leadership seems to conveniently escape our leaders' gaze, non more so than Eldoret North MP Hon William arap Samoei Ruto.
Professional flip flop politician, William Ruto is at it again, misleading the populace in his latest statements concerning presidential elections.

| rev Njoya gets a whooping for multiparty democracy |
Mr. Ruto record is self evident as he has been in the public limelight since his days in YK92. Yes, this newly branded "reformer" never fought for multiparty democracy. While H.E Kibaki, P.M Raila and other second liberation heroes and heroins ate tear gas and rubber bullets for lunch, the Honorable Member was at the lap of luxury enjoying the fruits of the iron handed Moi Regime.
Whether for profit or political advancement, he fought for the status-quo, yet this same leader claims to be a visionary and a reformer to whom we should entrust our already raped constitution. Really??
I wont even touch the maize issue.
The URP flag bearer has proven time and time again that he is not a leader to be trusted. On the I.C.C affair, He has flipped and flopped all over the place. he was for, then against before you could say Emillio, he had made another 180! is this kind of bendera hufuata upepo leadership What we want? A man whose word is only as strong as the winds that blow his way?
To add insult to injury, his strongest claim of ditching the ODM, was a lack of democracy- a common reason shared by fellow drop out and nominated MP Rachel Shebesh, whose reasons (have since been dispelled by Mama Ida and her NTV interview) were for political opportunity more than anything else. check the Trend interview.
THE NEW LIE: coalitions good for unity
The member has recently spied an opportunity, an opportunity to use his URP (widely considered a tribal outfit) to get him back in the corridors of power. In his Latest assertion, he goes on the premise: coalitions will lead to unity.
Recent history, showed tribal alliances aimed at getting power will lead to the end of this country. The way forward for Kenyan political leadership and unity is having parties with national structure and composition.
The only purpose of these coalitions is to divide and conquer. We have all seen it happen before, that is politics as usual, that is what lead to 2008.
We need, a party that is transparent and has grass roots support in ever single constituency and a following among different tribes. This unfortunately is only one party closest to this at the moment, ODM with Mr. Uhuru's TNA rapidly building footholds.
Mr. Ruto should be honest and admit, URP is a tribal outfit designed to get him back to the House and not behind any vision or higher ideal of service to the nation.

| UhuRuto both enjoy strong following in their tribal bastions |
Is this new union, UhuRuto in the twitter-verse, that has been talked about all over the media for the past two years just a marriage of convenience, similar to a common event in many campuses. The only thing they have in common is their stand on the ICC dock and a commitment not to see the PM take seat in the state house. No higher ideals.
The way I see it, UhuRuto will go the way of every other campus cohabitation- not that far.
I for one will dedicate my time to keeping them honest and exposing the inconsistencies of any and all political leaders. question is what about you?
