The race for the 2022 Presidential Elections keep heating up as the days go by with a number of politicians crafting various political strategies to help them take over from President Kenyatta come 2022.
One Politician who has been the talk of town day in day out is Deputy President William Ruto.
Ruto is focused on becoming the next commander in Chief and will apparently do anything to achieve his ultimate goal even if it includes pouring some good money on the ground.
DP Ruto went a notch higher and seeked the services of four renowned American Political Strategists who would later meet their death in tragic circumstances in Kenya.
The four US nationals were Kyle John Forti, Anders Jesiah Burke, Brandon Hower Stapper and David Mark Baker.
The four, alongside pilot Mario Magonga who frequently flew the DP, died near Lobolo in Central Island National Park, Turkana, at dusk, on March 3.
Forti is described as one of Colorado’s premier Republican campaign managers and strategists.
In a clear demonstration of his political influence in the US, the Colorado Senate observed a moment of silence for his death, with some describing him as a “prolific figure in Colorado Republican politics”.
Forti had worked as a political consultant for high-profile US politicians, and was the founder and partner in the consulting firm known as D/CO that specialises in, among other things, the creation of “emotionally engaging content”.
“D/CO helps clients leverage influence and direct conversation in the corporate and political space. We’ve worked with Fortune 100 companies, US Senators, nonprofits, and international public relations firms to influence public opinion through targeted data-driven communications, coalition development, and the creation of emotionally engaging content,” part of Forti’s profile on Linkedin states.
