    The reception that President Ruto has received in the Mount Kenya region this week has sparked widespread interest. Some Kenyans, driven by ill will, had hoped for hostility, fueled by narratives suggesting that the President had 'punished' the region by allegedly orchestrating Deputy President Rigathi Gachaguaโ€™s removal from office through Parliament. These sentiments were also amplified by the political campaigns that Gachagua has been conducting in the region.

    A Kikuyu musician, the late Makibi James, advised the Kikuyu community in his song titled โ€˜Riua ni Twoteteโ€™ (loosely translated โ€˜the sun has burnt usโ€™) to listen to his advice in the song or else, โ€œthey should wait for the hyenas that would eat themโ€.

    Todayโ€™s most significant question is what Raila Odingaโ€™s loss as AU chair portends for Kenyan politics. President Ruto told African leaders and the world that Railaโ€™s loss was a โ€œmissed opportunity for Africa.โ€ But how will this shape the political landscape moving forward?
