Leaked Details of BBI Report; Standard 8, Grade 4 Pupils Begin National Exams Today & Types of Huduma Namba Cards to Be Issued

Good morning,

The comparisons between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto’s contributions towards youth empowerment could not be more divergent as witnessed yesterday during the Mashujaa Day celebrations.

As if trying to counter DP Ruto’s hustlers’ narrative, the President once again took the opportunity to parade some of the most innovative projects, such as those showcased during the recent exhibition at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Law Enforcement Academy in Manyani, Taita Taveta County. They included among others, geospatial, airborne geophysical, cyber and national security industrialization projects.

Of course, this could not go unnoticed with several Kenyans drawing parallels between the president’s more technologically advanced innovations by the youth vis-à-vis his deputy’s wheelbarrow and Mkokoteni narratives.

However, to be fair to the DP, there are those that have not been privileged with quality education and cannot come up with such innovations. To his ardent supporters and common Mwananchi, those are the people that he is supporting so that they can earn their daily bread by making the manual jobs that they depend on easier.

Therefore, with the state machinery at the disposal of the Head of State, he is better-placed to empower the more tech-savvy innovations while his deputy, who is seemingly already on full-swing campaign mood two years to the general elections, distributes more wheelbarrows to the less fortunate.

Do you think these two contrasting schools of thought could co-exist peacefully or will they eventually collide?
