Riigy G was a one term MP when he was suddenly elevated to deputy president of Kenya, bypassing MPs who had been in the queue for many years.
Many have wondered how this happened. And speculated on how your stars can suddenly align.
Gordon Opiyo, a prominent supporter of Ruto has explained what took place. He says
People still get confused about how Ruto managed to wrest Mt Kenya from Uhuru’s stranglehold…
Many think it was about money….. Yet Uhuru has 10,000 times more money…
What happened was simply a revolution against the Kikuyu Economic Structure created in 1963….where a few Homeguards took advantage of the ignorant majority and grew extremely wealthy and left the majority landless and poor…
JM Kariuki warned about this structure of 10 millionaires and 10 million peasants… Saying that it was unsustainable.
True to his warning, the peasants woke up….
And Ruto only stood as a beneficiary of the uprising by the peasants….
What is happening in Mt Kenya will soon happen in Nyanza…
When nobodies like Kimani Ichungwa, a simple accountant in the Standard Newspaper who owned a small butchery and drove a second hand car is now facing off with the mighty Kenyatta family. A simple businessman called Ndindi Nyoro, who was putting on mitumba shirts recently, is now telling off the mighty Uhuru.
Moses Kuria, the KYM of Uhuru, who used to taste whether the whiskey was 20 years or 50 years for real… Is now a powerful CS in Government..
Rigathi Gachagua, a one term MP is now the second in command.
These people represent the warning JM Kariuki gave.. That the day the peasants wake up, it will not be easy.
It has very little to do with Ruto…. It is a war within the Kikuyu community, where the economic order is being challenged and new systems.
The billionaires got too rich and forgot the people on the ground.
This war is getting messy
We wait to see how the future turns out. Many are angry at Riggy G and complain that he hasn’t done enough to protect Kikuyu power. In fact all he seems to do is dance from one function to the next.
