Premature campaigns: Ruto now finds himself in Uhuru's position

A time like this, four years ago, then-President Uhuru Kenyatta was pleading with his then deputy, William Ruto, to stop early campaigning and instead give the administration time to deliver to Kenyans. Now, Ruto finds himself in Uhuru’s shoes.

At the time, Uhuru urged Ruto and his allies to halt premature political activities and focus on development, arguing that there is a time for everything—time for politics and time to implement government policies.
