Monday, February 6, 2023 –Legal scholar Makau Mutua has now faulted ex-President Uhuru Kenyatta for sidelining his deputy, William Ruto.

In an interview with Spice FM on Monday February 6 morning, the lawyer said Uhuru’s strategy to fight William Ruto lacked plan hence ended up making Ruto much stronger than any candidate Uhuru would choose to support.

He said Ruto was a strategic deputy president who behaved like a man under threat but, in the real sense, had run away with a big chunk of Uhuru Kenyatta’s government with some officials strategically placed around the Statehouse to leak information in the guise of being loyal to the government.

“The big question was who went away with the largest chunk of the state,” the Harvard-taught scholar posed.

He added that Ruto’s demeanor and confidence in attacking Uhuru during the last general campaign clearly proved that he had enough government support by people close to the Statehouse.

“Not only did Ruto get away with the largest chunk of the state, but he was also able to retain the most lethal part,” Makau revealed the immense power Ruto wielded despite being the deputy president.

He went further to explain that Uhuru had cleverly been rendered clueless throughout that period by persons who were destined to betray his course in the Handshake arrangement.

“Uhuru was gravely betrayed by the people close to him, he was a president without the machinery of power,” Makau opined.

In his final remarks, the former Spokesperson of the Raila Odinga 2022 presidential campaign-cum-head of its think tank felt that Raila was set to fail from the beginning.

“Raila lost the presidency because even though Uhuru supported him, Ruto had control of the system,” he remarked.

In the final election, Azimio candidate Raila Odinga would eventually lose the election to the United Democratic Alliance UDA candidate, William Ruto.

Raila has since not agreed with the outcome despite respecting the Supreme Court ruling that trashed into the dustbin his lorryful-petition as baseless.
