A series of masterstrokes executed by President William Ruto which have redefined the political landscape have marked him as an ace schemer who is the grand master of the game that is politics.  

He has claimed scalps of foes even when he appeared to be an underdog and appears to have the capacity to script a complex plot where only he has a clear picture of its end while leaving the various players supposed in the play to work out a formula to achieve the desired results. 

The unfolding saga between the President and his impeached deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, clearly demonstrates Ruto’s attention to detail when he sets out to vanquish a foe without lifting a finger or raising his voice.
