HOW RUTO LOST KENYA BEFORE 2027 EVEN ARRIVED

THE SEVEN PILLARS THAT COLLAPSED: HOW RUTO LOST KENYA BEFORE 2027 EVEN ARRIVED 

By Ruzeki | Shadoww News | The WanTam Weekly | November 21, 2025 

In 2022, William Ruto rode into State House on seven powerful pillars—each one carefully engineered, emotionally charged, and politically decisive. He didn’t win by accident; he won by mastering Kenya’s psychology. But history will remember him for something else entirely: breaking every promise, flipping every narrative, and betraying every group that carried him to power.

Below is the truth, stripped bare. 

---

1. Ethnic Base (Kikuyu & Kalenjin) — Broken 

Ruto capitalized on the uneasy but convenient Uhuru-led 'Kikuyu–Kalenjin 2012' unity, presenting himself as the man who would protect the economic interests of the two communities. 
Today, that alliance is like water and oil. Thanks to his betrayal and the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. 
From taxation fury to collapsing businesses, his strongest ethnic pillars have cracked wide open. Even his Kalenjin primary bloc is not happy.

2. The Church — Disillusioned

He packaged himself as God’s chosen, the humble Christian who prayed, fasted, and quoted scripture. 
But clergy who once cheered him now whisper about betrayal, deception, and weaponized religion. 
The holy glow is gone.

3. Payslip Owners — Betrayed

The promise was simple: lower taxes, higher earnings, more dignity for workers. 
Instead, Ruto delivered: 

• Punitive taxes; left, right and center. 
• Salary stagnation 
• Crushing deductions 
• A shrinking middle class 
  He didn’t just disappoint wage earners—he declared war on them.

4. Hustlers — Abandoned 

“Pesa mfukoni” turned into “pesa kutoka mfukoni.” 
The hustler dream collapsed under the weight of the Finance Act, high cost of living, expensive healthcare, expensive education, and zero meaningful relief. The hustler fund is nothing but a big joke. Ruto's empowerment drives are just a bribery scheme. 
The grassroots that made him president now chant the loudest: 
WanTam!

5. Professionals — Scammed

Ruto signed endless charters with engineers, doctors, teachers, SMEs and investors, promising economic revival. 
Three years later: 

• Manufacturing down 
• Professionals and investors fleeing the country 
• Failed job creation promises 
• A hostile business environment 
  He broke faith with the very brains that believed in reform. 

---

6. International Community — Alarmed

The same international observers who once hailed him as a reformist now watch his administration with suspicion: 

• Crackdowns on protests 
• Human rights violations 
• Fiscal irresponsibility 
• Corruption on steroids 
  The “human rights defender” badge has long been revoked. He's now labelled as one of the most corrupt leaders in the world. 

---

7. Sympathy — Evaporated

In 2022, many saw him as the underdog bullied by Uhuru’s regime. 
In 2027, he IS the regime and the sympathy is gone. 
The oppressed became the oppressor.

The Collapse Is Complete 

William Ruto came to power riding on the above seven pillars. 
Today, all seven are rubble. 
What remains is only: 

• State machinery. 
• A heavily looted campaign fund. 

But Kenyans are not buying it. 

The Gen Z awakening, the economic pain, the broken promises, and the brutal leadership mistakes have crystallized into one national verdict: 

WanTam!

Ruto is a One Term President. His fate is sealed.
