The Mountain has its own magic and its own magicians.
The Mountain stared at the Rift Valley and loudly declared:
“You cannot divide me into East and West. My children are one.”
William Ruto looked at the Mountain and wondered: What magic did Mumbi use to keep her children together?
When he realised the Mountain could not easily be divided, the political strategy moved elsewhere.
Luo Nyanza became the next battlefield.
Different centres of influence.
Different kingpins. Different political interests.
Now the eyes are firmly on Western Kenya.
Ruto knows the mathematics of Kenyan politics.
Big, united voting blocs are powerful.
Fragmented blocs are easier to negotiate with.
That is why Western Kenya must remain awake.
The objective, as I see it, is simple: divide the big blocks, scatter their political power, then negotiate with smaller pieces.
We have seen this movie before.
On 10 August 2027, money will be scattered across Kenya.
Politicians will arrive with handouts, promises and temporary solutions.
They know we are struggling.
They know many families have no money.
They know a few thousand shillings can make a hungry person forget tomorrow for one afternoon.
So they will give us money and expect us to fight each other for it.
But Ruto must not confuse poverty with stupidity.
Take the money if they bring it.
Listen to every promise.
Attend every rally.
But remember the bigger question:
What happened to Kenya over the five years we have lived through under William Ruto?
The price of living. Jobs. Healthcare. Education. Fuel. Taxes. Debt. The daily struggle of ordinary families.
Ruto does not need Kenyans divided into Luo, Luhya, Kamba, Kikuyu, Kisii and everybody else.
Kenya needs Kenyans united around their interests.
Because once we start fighting each other, the politicians win.
Once we start scrambling for handouts, the politicians win.
Once we allow them to turn our communities against each other, the politicians win.
10 August 2027 is coming.
Let them bring the money.
Let them bring the political tricks.
Let them bring every kingpin they have.
But let Kenyans remain awake & United.
You can take their money without selling your future.
The vote belongs to the people.
