Let me declare upfront that the lengthy monologue produced by Prezzo Bill Ruto on Monday night to kick-start his tour of Mount Kenya was an April Fool’s day stunt. Within that context, I will not call him out for misstating facts like Kenyan tea is being sold to Sudan, because it is not, since his government allowed Rapid Support Force (RSF) genocidaires to operate from Nairobi.

Neither will I seek to establish the veracity of his claims that his former deputy, Rigathi Gachagua aka Riggy G, attempted to extort some Sh10b from him or risk becoming a one-term Prezzo.

I mean, there are many Kenyans who have determined he will be a one-term Prezzo, and have said as much, without any inducement, financial or otherwise from Riggy G or anybody else. Their common refrain has been Prezzo has been lying to them, even when it’s not April 1.
