The interviewer allowed Ruto to ramble aimlessly at times Sad ...disappointing. Shouldn't have let him off the hook on the declaration of wealth

So kwani @nakujua was watching an edited version? Ama ni die hard fan, haoni msee akiwa cornered?

I am a die hard fan

...sema ukweli @nakujua,the guy rily found the questions moto moto.


what part was moto moto, Paraphrasing
steve - will you present yourself to the hague
wsr - I have doen it before , yes I will
steve - are you sure you will present yourself
wsr - yes
steve - even as president, will you present yourself
wsr - I thought I said I will

the interviewer is not balanced, he was trying to push to a particular direction.

I really think he handled himself pretty well.

the interviewer was actually put in a corner, when wsr asked him how he knew they would not get bail.

the first part he was referring to the lobby groups, like the ones that have emerged to defend some politicians - so yes there is no friend of Ruto lobby group,
but yes he has friends who will contribute to his campaign kitty.

Then it seems like Ruto is not the only one who got or pretended to get the question wrong.

The interviewer's comment that, like Ruto before you, you are trying to spin to fit your purposes was:

Quote:
"...judging from the way the ICC works it is very unlikely you would be given bail.."

True. @KulaRaha's is out of context. It is clear he meant the lobby group that the interviewer claimed were intimidating witnesses.

Same as his 'I don't do any business' one, he went on to clarify that by that he means all of his undertakings are run by professionals. So what he was trying to communicate in my opinion was the fact that he doesn't personally run his businesses. Of course in saying that he avoided the addressing the question - how in Kenya politicians use their position to benefit their business and do not have say an independent body or trust to run them while they are in office and if his businesses benefit from his political position.

...then thats being sly and not honest,he chose to answer his own questions,if I own a supermarket,yes am running a business even though I dont physically head it its still mine,am the beneficial owner...he should have said i am in the insurance business etc though am not involved in the day to day running of the said businesses.
