The Perils of Political Transformation: William Ruto's Journey from "Opposition" to Power

In the theatre of political dynamics, there exists a recurring narrative where figures ascend to prominence by vociferously opposing a prevailing order, only to embody the very principles they once denounced. This phenomenon, starkly observable in contemporary Kenyan politics, reveals a troubling trend that transcends mere political theatre, implicating fundamental issues of governance, integrity, and national identity. The Ruto Paradox: From Anti-State Capture to the Heart of Power William Ruto’s rise to political prominence was rooted in a fervent opposition to the concept of “deep state” and systemic state capture. His campaign resonated with many Kenyans disillusioned by entrenched corruption and elite manipulation. Ruto positioned himself as the champion of the ordinary citizen, a beacon of reform against the opaque machinations of entrenched power. However, upon assuming office, the very principles that propelled Ruto to power seemed to erode. His administration, initially celebr...

Larry Madowo Lays Roads and Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen Low...Lower Than an Envelope


Kenya's transport sector has become a tragicomedy of errors under the stewardship of Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen. As leaks, blackouts, and general chaos plague Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Murkomen finds himself in a farcical war of words with none other than CNN correspondent Larry Madowo.

The Exchange of Exasperation

It all began when Murkomen, in a fit of denial reminiscent of a toddler with mabuyu-stained hands, took to the airwaves to criticise Madowo for his relentless exposure of JKIA's shortcomings. In a classic case of "the pot calling the kettle black," Murkomen urged Madowo to focus on the positives, conveniently ignoring the glaring deficiencies in Kenya's flagship airport.

Madowo Strikes Back

But Madowo, armed with a digital arsenal of past grievances dating back to the Jurassic era, swiftly fired back. With screenshots of his complaints about JKIA dating as far back as 2014, Madowo dismantled Murkomen's feeble attempts at gaslighting with surgical precision. The exchange, akin to a slapstick comedy routine, left observers in stitches and Murkomen red-faced.

Murkomen's Melodrama Continues

Undeterred by Madowo's devastating clapback, Murkomen doubled down on his delusions of grandeur, imploring the journalist to find something positive to say about Kenya lest the world mistake him for a refugee from the Stone Age. His insistence on painting a rosy picture of Kenya's transportation woes only served to highlight the tragicomic incompetence of the Kenya Kwanza regime.

Kenyans Join the Chorus

As the digital dust settled, Kenyans joined the fray, lambasting Murkomen for his tone-deafness and demanding accountability from the hapless CS. Calls for his dismissal, along with the other comical duo of equally woefully inept colleagues, Agriculture's Mithika Linturi and Health's Susan Nakhumicha, continue to echo across social media platforms, signaling a growing discontent with the Kenya Kwanza regime's penchant for incompetence.

In the annals of Kenya's political theatre, few performances rival the sheer hilarity and incompetence on display in the Murkomen-Madowo debacle. As leaks continue to drip and lights flicker at JKIA, one can't help but wonder if the curtain will ever fall on this tragicomedy of errors, or if Murkomen and his cohorts will continue to stumble blindly through the corridors of power, leaving chaos and laughter in their wake.
