Ruto has loyal followers.
And they are legion!
Where ever he goes they will.
RAO has perfected the act - that of taking of followers on a walk down parties lane.
Ruto spent some time with RAO in ODM.
What better way than learn from the master.
BTW
I believe Ruto is a forceful political operative.
But RAO is a grand master on matters aggression.
It follows hence, that if your worry is violent merchantry, then Ruto is your lesser...
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
