Because they have realized RAO is big liar and he cannot be trusted in the current coalition arrangement. The good thing about WR is his consistency in articulating his opinion and/or position. The way he put up a spirited campaign for the 'NO' vote against a combined forces of who is who in the Kenyan political plateau says a lot about his leadership capability.

what is consistency????? give at least two issues where WR has been consistent (20 mks)

hague trials do not form part of the answer because;

when the hague process started he said....we want hague

last week,

he was supporting MK for naming CJ to convince AU support pulling out of hague.

These are the same kind of comments that led to what we witnessed in RV during the PEV, you should be ashamed of yourself. I still think that the likes of Raila, took advantage of the historical differences between these two tribes to gain political mileage. Instead of people encouraging the Kikuyus and Kalenjins to reconcile we're busy trying to divide them again based on political alliances. The Luos and Kikuyus killed each other in Nairobi, shouldn't we also questions RAO's intentions....

And i had posted "sorry about giving blanket tribal views", Whats more, this thread is titled "Why are Kikuyus supporting Ruto?", did you see that? These clashes we call TRIBAL CLASHES, or, ETHNIC VIOLENCE, what kind off underlying issue does that sound like? How do you deal with it? If they are ethnic and tribal problems then the solutions are perhaps related. Why is it one community consistently sees murder and violence as a means whereas the other 41 do not? Perhaps the leaders in this community need to be taught that violence and murder is not a way to solve simple ethnic differences, that's my point, otherwise if you side with them, what will stop them from acting the same in future? You are better of using politics to bring the political weight to bear on them and make them face justice. Again, i hate to make tribal arguments but what does one do here? Politics is part and parcel of life and one has to use political opportunities such as this ones wisely, particularly kiuks.
