WHAT IF

What if Ruto called Uhuru and told him that he wanted to set up a "Vision 2060" steering committee and wanted him to chair it?

After all, you can't appoint someone during a press conference without informing them beforehand—especially someone of Uhuru's stature.

Being the statesman that he is, Uhuru could hardly say no to a request that appears to serve the national interest.

However, knowing Ruto very well, he would be inclined to question whether the initiative was truly about national interests because, with Ruto, it is always about personal interests.

So Uhuru picks up the phone, calls Riggy G, and gives him all the details.

Riggy G pre-empts everything, and this is where the game of chess begins.

If Ruto goes ahead and makes the pronouncement exactly as planned, he reinforces Riggy G's claim that he has moles everywhere in government.

So what does Ruto do?

He changes "Vision 2060" to "Beyond 2030" and does not mention Uhuru's name during the press conference.

Uhuru saves his name from being dragged into the controversy, and Riggy G scores a few points.

Ruto is totally cornered.

He is playing checkers while Uhuru and Riggy G are playing chess.😄
