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...

BREAKING NEWS: On Top of JKIA, William Ruto Now Sells Kenya Power to Adani



In a scandal that has shaken the core of Kenya’s national integrity, it has emerged that under President William Ruto’s administration, key national assets have been handed over to the Adani Group. This revelation, unearthed through relentless investigative citizen journalism, uncovers the depths of corruption and political scheming that have characterised William Ruto's administration.
The Sale of JKIA: A Deeper Betrayal
The world-famous Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), once a symbol of Kenya’s gateway to the world, is now under the control of the Adani Group—a deeply corrupt conglomerate with deep ties to the shady and unscrupulous Indian billionaire Gautam Adani.

But the shocking details do not end with the airport. Reports confirm that the sale includes a 30-year lease agreement which grants Adani a de facto monopoly over Kenya’s premier airport.
Why is this significant?

Adani’s acquisition of JKIA is not just about ownership of a physical space; it’s about exerting unprecedented control over Kenya’s aviation sector. According to a recent exposé, Adani’s deal with Ruto's government includes several stringent conditions:
  • Exclusive Control Over New Developments: Adani has secured a commitment from William Ruto prohibiting the construction of new airports or upgrades to existing ones for the next 30 years without its consent. This includes major international airports like Isiolo, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret. Such restrictions directly contravene Kenya's Vision 2030, which envisions the nation as a leading logistics hub in Africa.
  • Legal and Policy Overhauls: The agreement demands modifications to Kenyan laws and aviation policies to ensure Adani’s dominance. This includes barring any competitive developments that might challenge JKIA's position or its operational strategies.
Kenya Power: Another Strategic Loss
In an equally disconcerting turn of events, it has now been revealed that Kenya Power has also been sold to the Adani Group. The sale of this critical national asset aligns with a broader pattern of dubious asset disposals under Ruto’s administration, raising questions about the future of Kenya’s energy sector and its implications for the average Kenyan.
The Broader Implications
The ramifications of these transactions are far-reaching:
  • Economic Impact: The monopolistic control over critical infrastructure by a foreign entity could stifle competition and innovation, ultimately leading to higher costs for consumers and reduced service quality, to say nothing of the national security fallouts.
  • Strategic Interests: By selling off pivotal assets like JKIA and Kenya Power, the Ruto administration is not only compromising national sovereignty but also undermining Kenya’s strategic interests in the region.
  • Public Outcry: The public’s response has been swift and furious. As airport workers strike in protest and Kenya Airways cancels flights, the public is left grappling with the fallout of these nefarious deals. The sale of JKIA, in particular, has sparked widespread outrage, as Kenyans see it as a blatant betrayal of national interests for personal and political gain.
The Political Theatre: Ruto’s Motivations
The sale of JKIA and Kenya Power appears to be more than mere economic transactions; it reflects a deeper political vendetta. Sources suggest that Ruto’s decision to transfer JKIA to Adani was driven by a desire to retaliate against former President Uhuru Kenyatta. In a symbolic gesture, Ruto has reportedly agreed to rename JKIA to ‘Adani Holdings,’ a move widely perceived as an affront to the Kenyattas and a testament to the current administration’s disregard for national pride and sovereignty.
The Cautionary Tale of a Nation
J.J. Kariuki’s stark observation about Kenya—“A country of 10 billionaires and ten million beggars”—now seems more relevant than ever. The ongoing political and economic machinations reflect a widening gap between the elite and ordinary Kenyans. As the country’s resources are siphoned off to foreign interests, the average citizen is left to deal with the repercussions of such policies.
The sales of JKIA and Kenya Power to Adani mark a new low in Kenya’s political and economic landscape. They represent a severe compromise of national assets and strategic interests. As Kenyans grapple with the implications of these deals, it becomes clear that the Ruto administration’s actions are not just a betrayal of public trust but a grave threat to the country’s future.
The time for accountability is now. As this scandal unfolds, it is imperative that the public remains vigilant and demands transparency and justice. The integrity of Kenya’s national assets and the welfare of its citizens hang in the balance.
Meanwhile in Ahmedabad, things are beginning to go tits-up...🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️
