OPINION: Ruto, Gachagua’s Feud Overshadows Real Issues in Mt Kenya Tour 

Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya- Kenya is once again caught in a whirlwind of political theatrics, and honestly, it’s exhausting. 

The President’s Mount Kenya tour has kicked off, and with it comes the usual dose of drama—finger-pointing, shady jabs, and unverified claims between him and his impeached deputy. 

If history is anything to go by, we’re in for a chaotic showdown.

As expected, the aftermath isn’t about policies or solutions. Instead, Kenyans are left spectating, rating who throws the best punchlines in the endless war of words. 

But beyond the Twitter memes and bar jokes, there’s a deeper issue—one we seem to relive every election cycle.

Just last year, during the maandamano protests, Kenyans demanded a functioning system—leaders who actually listen and deliver. 

But here we are again, drowning in political nonsense while the real issues remain untouched. Basic governance? Ignored. The Constitution? Treated like a mere suggestion. Their own policies and promises? Forgotten.

The worst part? We’ve normalized it. Instead of anger, frustration is masked with humor. 

Kenyans have become so used to disappointment that we camouflage our struggles with banter. But no amount of jokes can fix a broken system.

One thing is certain—the president’s tour will keep the drama alive. The back-and-forth jabs will trend, the country will be entertained, and in a few weeks, we’ll be right back where we started. 

Stuck in an endless loop of political nonsense, courtesy of leaders who should know better but simply don’t care.
