If any of the politicians is a hero of the people, let him/her attract crowds first hand. Let him/her NOT wait for crowds attracted by opponents. That is like waiting under the table for bread crumbs after a dinner. What took place in Mugirango is inability to attract people to to a rally. If you are a hero, can’t you just organize your own clean rally? As a man of the people you should stand alone and be independent.

Kip, am not affiliated to Ruto and Raila in any way, but I can assure you that the difference between Ruto and Raila supporters is that support for Ruto has turned into a tribal outfit, while Raila is enjoying national and international support, and that is the truth. About the draft constitution, Ruto passed it in parliament, and was the first to be interviewed by media and he said that compared to the current constitution, this draft is the best. Inciting people to reject the draft on the premise that their meager land will be deprived of them is not true; telling provincial administration that their jobs end with the incoming constitution is far from the truth; abortion is not legalized as he claims (and appearing in church podium and rallies pedaling this lie is sinful). Telling people that if NO wins then Ruto will make sure that the same parliament that passed and failed to amend this draft will make the amendments so that we can have a new constitution by December 2010 is in itself a BIG LIE that you cannot see and feel because he is your brother. Having amendment and referendum again is only feasible if the process is budgeted for (which I doubt that Uhuru cares the less about) and parliament majority agree to it, simple. I beg to know why Ruto and some kalanjin leadership wants the status quo to be maintained?

I tell the professional Ruto bashers that he has his own to defend him.Leave him alone.
If by voting YES you think you are punishing Ruto, you need to think again.
Some folks are here to malign Ruto as if we are so plaseed and happy for it. Ruto is our son and we shall defend him just as you defend your Raila.
Hon.Ruto has got every right to push his agenda as long as he tells the truth.The problem is that most of his pronouncements on the articles he addresses are most of the time distortions! The proposed constitution talks a prson having the right to marry a person of the opposite sex yet Hon.Ruto has been telling us that this will legalise same sex marriages! He should also look back and be happy that what he is freely doing now could not have been possible during Moi’s time
