Kipruto arap Kirwa knows William Samoei Ruto very well and has told us that the weakness of Ruto is that he takes shortcuts in solving every problem.
He always wants to do things very quickly. Kirwa referred to the now very famous "three matatus" remarks by the president. Three matatus referring not to the vehicles but to three points Ruto talked about; you either leave the country, go to jail or we transport you to heaven. Kirwa said that the sugar industry is in a mess and the problems in the industry are complex. Kirwa said that because of Ruto's character of taking shortcuts and even as he campaigns for 2027, hence his behaviour in Mumias.

According to his own words Ruto started out as a chicken seller along the highway. Other information suggests that he did a lot of things to try and make money.
Which is okay. It is in fact good and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And then the major breakthrough came when he got a job (not working in an office) but as a driver to Cyrus Jirongo, who was then a very influential KANU politician and this is where Ruto proved that he is super intelligent because just listening in into
conversations between his boss and other powerful people in Kenya, he managed to get his foot into Kenyan politics and into business.
Now of course about his first business deal, most Kenyans know about it. He sold KANU branded T-shirts to Cyrus Jirongo. Jirongo is still very bitter about that particular deal.

What is going on in Gabon?
It was just four days after Gabon held a presidential election that was disputed by the opposition but where incumbent Ali Bongo claimed victory. Army officers appeared on state television to announce they’d canceled the Aug. 26 vote and taken over. The citizens cheered wildly. Bongo first took office in 2009, succeeding his late father, who had been President since 1967. The ruling family’s grip on power has come under pressure in recent years. Soldiers already launched a failed coup in 2019, months after Bongo suffered a stroke that put him out of action for several months.
Gabon, is an oil producing country that rejoined OPEC in 2016 after a 21-years and pumps about 200,000 barrels of crude a day. It is a relatively small producer and so any disruptions in production are unlikely to impact world markets. But of much more concern to the international community is Gabon's role in the production of manganese, used to produce some of the hardest forms of steel.
The big elephant in the room that the Western media has missed here are the ordinary people in those countries that have suffered coups so far. It may be that ordinary Kenyans are "feeling" their West Africa brothers and sisters hence the reaction currently in the country of wondering if there is any concern in the corridors of power.

It is clear that after the very dramatic events in Central and West Africa, things will never be the same again in Africa.
It is barely a month since Niger’s military toppled its president and then boom, Gabon’s army seized power, bringing to nine the number of military coups across sub-Saharan African since 2020. What is driving all these numerous coups? So far the western media has completely missed the elephant in the room, which I will come back to shortly.
Going forward hiding a server or rigging an election is going to prove very tricky indeed. Watch the short: After Gabon: How viable will it be to rig another election in Africa or hide a server?
Actually this thing of time is much more serious than what you think and it is even spiritual because we are given time and all of us are given the exact same amount of time. The billionaire entrepreneur has exactly the same time on his hands to spend every day as the poor man living in a slum somewhere in Kibra, Nairobi.
What most of us don't realize is that this time we have in our hands all the time, we will have to account for all of it one day. We will have to account for our time from the one who gave it to us. You're not here by accident you were brought here and you were given time to accomplish your mission not mine or anybody else's your particular mission on earth. And you were given a certain time in which to accomplish it (70 years to be precise give or take).
Time is much more precious than gold, money, silver, precious metals
Time should be looked at like money because indeed it is even more precious than money because you can lose money and you can recover it. But once you lose time it is gone forever there is no known technology that can help you recover your time. It is gone and gone forever.
And the saddest of all sad things is that one of the biggest thieves of this time (because we have agreed time is more precious than money) one of the biggest thieves of this time, this very precious thing called time, is distractions.
