The Controversial US Trip: Political Maneuvers and Unanswered Questions

 President William Ruto’s return from his highly controversial US trip has raised numerous questions, and the controversies surrounding the visit are far from over. One of the most pressing concerns is who actually invited leaders like Opiyo Andai, Gladys Wanga, and others to accompany Ruto to the United States. The answer to this question might surprise you. According to AIMO leader Raila Odinga, it was the US government, but others insist it wasn’t. The truth, however, points to US Ambassador Meg Whitman, not the US government itself, as the person behind the invitations. This complicates matters and ties into a larger political narrative, linking various events in Kenya’s political scene.

Let’s also address the curious case of Pauline Joga, a blogger and close ally of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta. Despite their strong ties, Joga was in the US covering Ruto's visit. How do we explain this apparent shift?

Another significant development is Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s absence from the airport when Ruto returned to Kenya. Traditionally, the Deputy President welcomes the President home, but Gachagua was notably missing, raising questions about internal divisions within the government. His absence is clear evidence that something is wrong, and it's fueling further speculation.

As for the US trip itself, theories about its purpose have surfaced. Some believe that Ruto’s grand entrance with an expensive jet was to impress and secure a major deal, but I disagree with this theory. Instead, I believe the visit was more strategic. When sealing a deal, it’s common to host potential partners to discuss terms, and sometimes they bring along family or staff. The host, who picks up the tab, might even suggest additional people to accompany them, which could be a tactic to gather intelligence or secure a more favorable outcome. This could explain why certain leaders were invited.

On a different note, there’s growing speculation about the internal power struggles within the ruling coalition, especially between communities. The absence of Gachagua from the welcoming ceremony suggests a deeper divide. Meanwhile, Eden DW, a key ally representing the Somali community, was at the airport to greet Ruto, signaling that despite the internal tensions, the President still enjoys support from significant factions within the government.

All these developments tie into the broader narrative of Ruto’s US visit and its political implications. The revelations about this trip are disturbing, particularly when many Kenyans feel the country is being sold out. While there is much speculation, the answers to these pressing questions are hidden within a special report, which promises to shed light on these mysteries and rewrite certain aspects of Kenya’s political history.
