In Summary


  • Many are seeing parallels between what is happening in the United States between Trump and Musk, and what is happening in Kenya between President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
  • There is no doubt Raila saved Ruto from being chased out of State House when Gen Z said ‘enough’ last July.

President William Ruto and Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga during the signing of MoU to work together on Friday, March 7, 2025.

The United States is for the first time being run by a president who many say is wrapped around the finger of one previously political unknown but nonetheless is now well known for his money, namely, Elon Musk.

It is not the first time a president was in the control of someone else; that happened when George W. Bush was President and Vice President Dick Cheney was known to call all the shots.
