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 scenario paints a picture of a deeply embattled Ruto, besieged from all sides, yet tenaciously standing his ground amid the escalating political turbulence in Mount Kenya.

These are the days of miracles and wonder. What a time to be alive!
