I love seeing great minds in Kenya criticizing positively the leadership & also trying to wake up the current governess...much respect...twende kazi... 🇰🇪
Ekuru is just an Oscar Sudi with good English.
Just ridiculous. How suddenly he thinks Ruto is horrible!
It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled
Just the right reason ekuru sold his presidencial ambition,he's forgetting how he's made turkana pple loose interest in him ,he now an opportunist who sells ambitions of a government of the day,with all the learned ideas he has he looks empty.
Unamaanisha nini ebu dadafua😅😂😅😅
so you fool them that they have been fooled..boom
Ruto's presidency does not show that anyone can become a president because of these factors: 1) He has been in all governments since Mo(dynastic), 2) He is Kalenjin (political dominance - one of 2 tribes that produced all Kenyan presidents), He is a multi-billionaire.
Exactly. A deputy president becoming a president is not anything spectacular. Someone who has been in politics for 25 years and accumulated all the wherewithal is not something worth discussing.
Well put @charleskilibo3050
Ruto has been in almost all the governments, so it doesn't make him a new comer, and that doesn't make him different from the dynasties, coz he's also a kalenjin and they we're in power for 24 yrs, it would have made sense if he was to be someone from one of the magnalized communities, I think Ekuru is happy on how his brilliant choice has negatively affecting poor Kenyans.
You are wise!.
President Moi like Ruto didn't come from any known family. Its a fallacy to treat Ruto as unique
Also don't forget about Kibaki
Add Jomo to that list. Kenya is too young to insist on any real pattern.
The second generation are the dynasties. Ruto's children will be dynastic, so is Raila and Uhuru
I started listening to Ekuru when he was in the team working on the 2010 constitution. I had a lot of respect for him then, and I still respect him to date. He's a great leader that Kenyans have not matured enough to make president.
This fool cannot be president.
Ruto am behind you my beloved president .....
I cried like a baby when you won the election. May God continue to guide you and give you good health. Najuwa sio rahisi
Ekuru was my deskmate in school, he was a very brilliant guy in class.
That class must jave been full of idiots
What happened to him? He's spewing nonsense here.
What happened to him?
He acts stupid of late, he needs to stop this dynasty nonsense.
@@JudeMarchisio Radicalized with wheelbarrow mentality.. For your information wheelbarrows are now on parking.
Hapo kwa mtu wetu mentality daktari I totally agree with you coz we need all of us kenyans to prosper as a society ...We glorify politicians a notch higher
His pocket has been made heavy he is not the one talking
Good Talk Dr. Ekuru. Do not go far from the people. Let us link up and start a conversation as as we go towards 2027. We liked your ideas and thoughts. Do not loose the focus.
By the time Ruto was running for president he had been M.P., minister, vice president for 10 years and a billionaire to boot. He was a big name already. So telling us a nonentity can be a president in Kenya today is hogwash
I forgot to say Ruto's presidency made me trust and believe more that there's God in heaven.....
Kuna Mungu mbinguni Jameni. ❤😊
Very refreshing convo. Way to go.
This a very brilliant Kenyan.we are so proud to hv you.tell them because all what they want is to destroy our economy which they are so much used to even at times of kibaki
It is sad when people who don't know history spew nonsense they don't know anything about. Ruto was for borrowing when he was DP in UHURUTO govt. Ruto has been involved in big corruption schemes in Kenya. He will not fix anything. Ruto is also a dynasty. I see he fooled this guy to vote for him like he fooled the hustlers. He hustled the hustlers. Go Ruto!
there are old clips out there, i wish the media people would run them every time the news start how Ruto was defending this over borrowing. The then opposition used to criticize the senseless borrowing and they would be branded Lords of Poverty.
It was uhuru's strategy to borrow, Ruto was only doing what he is constitutionally obligated to do which is, support his president. Chances are Ruto disputed borrowing behind closed doors. The messes of the previous government fall squarely on uhuru.
But why had he borrowed in a record 9 months what Uhuru did in a 10 year period… whose fault is that if I may ask?
@@martinobwar5273 that's not true, Ruto has only borrowed 200b which was passed during the supplementary budget three months ago.
@@leewythaka8309 who cares what he says behind closed doors, I will go with what someone says in public otherwise we will need witch doctors to know what people actually mean
the dynasty in Kenya is the dynasty of two tribes running the country ever since independence. Kenyatta family had only two rulers, that is not a dynasty, same goes to Moi, Kibaki only one ruler. A dynasty is a series of rulers from same family ruling for a long time. Kenya has a dynasty of two tribes.
There are no dynasties, only dictatorship. Jomo Kenyatta and Moi were dictators until in 1992 when multiparty politics was introduced.
Yes I as a Kikuyu Youth from Murang'a is running the GOK. I am very rich from GOK giving me free money. My parents should not have educated me.
Also Odinga dynasty ruling from the opposition for 60 years. Odingaism should give way.
Politicians 'don't lie'. They only promise. If you master the art of promising, you are likely to succeed in politics...
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation👍🏾
Let the president and his team be bold enough to dissolve the cabinet and legislative and call fresh election
A BLESSING IN DISGUISE was when Arsenal was knocked out from Europa league to win the EPL title. How did that turn out?

Hahaa... arsenal's blessings in disguise did not materialize. They failed to win any cup
It's a blessing in disguise coz now they are buying players for over 105 million pounds 😂😂😂😢
Ruto is not going anywhere whether we complain, demonstrate or take away our support unless the IEBC and the Supreme Court miraculously refuse bribery. Ruto said that in 2027, even the opposition agents during elections will not exist and he is already laying the foundation for that as we speak. That is why whether we complain about him removing the taxes for his helicopters spare parts, and taxing us to the maximum doesn't give him sleepless nights.
Daktari has given an academic argument which makes sense. What he is forgetting is that elections in Kenya can never be audited, and our last experience tells us that IEBC is the one that determines who becomes the President. The electoral systems exist, but don't help us if they can be interfered with, and not opened for auditing. What happens in the IEBC boardroom determines what will be verified and declared. How deep your pockets are to handle the Supreme Court judgement, will not only uphold the IEBC declaration, but give you colorful words like "hot air".
Very well explained, beginning the end of Rich well connected political leaders.
Dr Ekuru Aukot has spoken the truth...thiis man is a true Kenyan 💯🇰🇪
Well he is not wrong - It is a blessing in disguise for his close friends who are the biggest beneficiaries but to the rest of us its nothing to write home about
You really didn't get it... It's a blessing in disguise to us.... The pain is going to open our eyes and ears and see that when going for a leader it's not about class or background or tribe.. It's about integrity.... And we need to feel the pain of this particular choice just like we felt the previous one so we can deny both Ruto and raila in the next election... They both failed
Why dont you complain that running Marathons has been dominated by one tribe?😁
@@johnmwakilili indeed my apologies - the sarcasm on this one was lost for me - my bad
Find out the meaning of "blessing in disguise". It doesn't mean what you seem to think.
Too much talk without offering solutions. Dynasty or chicken seller- how does that make Kenyans? Please focus on issues and how to fix the problems at hand
There is Erick again trying to defend Ruto. He was in Uhuru's govt and should have known what he was walking into. Ruto is hoodwinking people again by acting like he was not a DP in UHURUTO's govt. Ruto has never been and is not a hustler. The only jobs he will give Kenyans is mjengo and boda boda. Uhuru and Raila did not ask to be born where they were born. Kenyatta and Jaramogi started for nowhere too. This dynasty nonsense is just nonsense.
Are you serious???
The truth is Uhuru help Ruto wins this thing very simple by supporting Raila directly whilst he knew he was losing popularity, Uhuru was finished by Matian'gi's arrogance especially when he started bulldozing Kenyans. Then followed by raising the price of common commodities at critical time while Raila was watching in silent.
I voted for Ekuru in repeat 2017 when my presidential candidate RAO was not on the ballot.
Kenyans are the best payukaring people in Africa
Eric amazing questioning.. Wonderful....
This is mature serious conversation and i like it ..eukuru is a brilliant guy the way hes layin out facts is amazing..motivating the future
He is not!... Just any other average Kenyan who got opportunities to pursue higher education!.
I honestly need to stop reading comments at the beginning of interviews..😂😂😂😂
Dorper of the family
My analysis, the good doctor is confused. Kibaki was in the government for a very long time and then became president. Was he a dynasty? Didn't he bring a break to long Moi rule after Kenyatta one? The Odinga's have never been to presidency and the years both Ruto and Raila have been in politics is almost the same.
Kibaki was One of the Kenya Government Pioneers. He was a Dynasty by Virtue of being among the 1st Cabinet Ministers.
To simplify for you, Kibaki was Born a Dynasty when Kenya was Born in 1963
Ruto laid too long near the dogs with ticks and now he’s all the ticks are on him
i like the analogy sir .
Remember YK92 it was the high time of dirty politics without them Moi would have maybe thrown the towel in earlier,I remember ruto said he was in statehouse when they were losing and he expected moi to do something but he didn’t.
Or maybe he’s the tick
Kenyan leadership is guided by the ruling class prediction that "KANU shall rule for 100 years"
@@mwendapoleeethe electorate have short memories and many weren't born by then others were too young to appreciate what was happening, also the constant indoctrination may change the history in people's minds.
Dr Ekure Akutui, excellent analysis, the idea that HE president William Ruto service under all the presidents, and he knows government secrets is great. HE president William Ruto with the expectations from him manifesto must perform without cheating Kenyans. This is the first opportunity to interrogate a sitting president.
Those around ruto the likes of akina mdvd gachagua mwenyewe
Fear of ruto is vivid on their face
And me I can go on record saying this that the only person in kenya who Don't fear ruto is Rao
Wanapelekana sambamba
Even uhunye is scared of this man like a rabbit
You just watch carefully their body language whenever name arap mashamba is mentioned
Hii si siri kenya is back in square one as you people watch na macho eeeh
The old bad times and manners
And if there will be anybody in kenya you can count out in enterring into any forms of talks its ruto the hardliner
Here as a nation we have a hard nut to crack
Tafuteni nyundo za mjengo
Jamaa hana njema lolote
You are right but Ruto rose to power through Manipulation and bloodshed
Ekuru alikuwa Mtu wa ruto all along...lol😂😂
This man....Only two tribes have rulled Kenya! Is this not a dynasty.
A bigger picture would be only bantus and nilotes have ruled this country, time to move to cushites etc
To be fair he is not supporting either of them...he's all about getting the best person to lead us regardless of tribe or background
true.
The two tribes are the poor and those who exploit them
Is it really tribes or individuals?
This gentleman is right bu one thing to put at the back of our mind and be honest one will need plenty of resources and money to be able to attract followers and this is nothing but the truth
Ekuru is a brilliant fellow, but he's a frequent convenient flip-flop.
Likely he is externally financed.
Tried, he might just end up being a flip-flop leader anywhere and everywhere. 😢
The only Non Flip flop leader Kenya has ever experinced is the late Kibaki. The guy was focused on the economy. I believe Kivutha Kibwana is a special breed.
Ekuru has not yet been tested like Ruto but he too can flip-flop if he sits on top of the house on the hill. They are both very similar in influence n very nice ideas..but Ruto is a perfect orator who changed the direction of campaign politics from what he promised kenyans to something else
@@deritukibakis was good for the economy but was bad on everything else, definitely not a great president.
🤔 Good decussion ✊🏿❤
I totally concurs with daktari school of thoughts…….ideology it is
If a Dr. Ekuru Aukot could believe Ruto's lies, I give up!.
Not much of intelligence in such a PhD, I guess…
He does not and he has said he has lied to Kenyans... He's giving him the benefit of the doubt by saying IF HE WANTED he could change Kenya for the better but so far he is doing very poorly.
@@johnmwakilili I meant for any reasonable Kenyan of his age and status, William Ruto is not a stranger!. Dr. Ekuru voted for him.
Ruto did not even wait for his second term to start bad manners his arrogance have come too quickly
Jamaa hataki kuskiza anybody
Literally we can as well say ruto is leaving in kenya alone
Am from mountain but , i don't follow my tribe when electing a leader , i elect a someone who will make my life and that of my country better by applying a good leadership i pray to God to open citizens of kenya their eyes and commonsence and realize a good leader can come from any tribe . Uhuru did nothing to me as my tribe but only raped our economy to death 😢😢
If Uhuru did that then Ruto is going to put the last nail in the coffin and bury it
people from the mountain don't elect the president they vote against another. I wonder how they'll vote in 2027 when Raila isn't in the ballot.
Why should this man cheat the people? When was Ondinga given an opportunity to form a government in Kenya? Was he heading KANU or KADU? It was to be Gichuru or Ngala.
He doesn't know the history of kenya but uses so many words to describe his dumbness.
Dude is hot air!
Raila is actually the outsider to the dynastic nature of Kenyan politics. His only undoing was being propped by the so called dynasties in the last elections. He would have broken the two-tribes dominance and at the same time demonstrated consistency and meritocracy pays in the end. He's been on the side of the poor way before 1992. Look at the way he avoided openly bribing voters like Ruto did (it worked against him), chosing a relatively "clean" running mate etc. Ruto is a good student of what Kenyan voters reward esp around central Kenya. He observed how easily Sonko and his ilk swept themselves to power. Upcoming politicians are watching and it may get worse.
Aukot i voted for you dont judge me by my name and i wished you could have tried again
I lilke your inteligence
Although as usual i know kenyans look at how much money one has tribe etc from kiambu to kericho hence the name how i wish and lòoking forward to call ourselves kenyans
Istead of mumering all the why not give the gav solutions am not saying you shouldnt talk but give advice and oppose positively
You are an intelligent man thats why i voted for you The president and Uhuru were running mates and i to vote for you
Mr Aukot how i wish you could reach him it may be impossiple but you can if you want tell him put yourself in his shoes the economy is a global.
The comments tha are made some seem to be personal i pray for the day we shall call ourselves kenyans instead for first looking for our sir names Love Love i look at kids playing together without a care Love is in the Lords comandmets
I will reciave insults Right now but its the truth so much hatred
Auokot if you stand in 2027 with a goos manifestal i will vote for
If we could be writing our names i would ask you to search my Name
I dont care where one comes as long as one is a good leader
AM FROM GITHUNGURI KIAMBU
MY KIDS WERE HARASED AT IN 2007 JUST BECUASE OF SIR NAME CAN IMAGINE COMING FROM AND YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME
PLEASE LETS LOVE EACH OTHER
SO MUCH TIME IS WASTED BY MANDAMANIO OUR YOUTHS WILL HAVE NO FUTURE YET THE CALLED LEADERS THEIR CHILDREN DONT PERTICIPATE 😢😢 OURS ARE EITHER KILLED OR MAMED 😢😢
CHILDREN LEARN FROM THEIR PARENTS OR OTHER GROWN UPS
MY OPINION
❤❤ IS KEY
So in future we should profile rutos kids as dynasty ?..that route daktari is tragic...
It is wot it is
Where has Aukuru Aukot been. How come he forgets that Ruto was running government with Uhuru as DP. He also forgets that Ruto is a creation of Moi.
We have never seen what we are about to see
Dr Ekuro Aukot is arguing in a circle.
Ruto has been in government longer than Raila and Uhuru.
Yes but how long has he been a national leader not just for his tribe?
If Ruto was not kalenji he will never be president today cuz if you dont come big tribe in kenya! You dont have any Chance that is reality in kenya so dr Ekuru live up to the reality man!!!
Ekuru Aukot is right on one thing and I'm happy he is saying something I have been saying all my 90 years.
How could Jomo Kenyatta be a freedom fighter when at the height of that fight he was busy marrying a british woman?
But he is wrong about the dynasty narrative.
Dynasty doesn't mean that you have to be of noble birth. If that were so, who then birthed the first King? and to make it worse, the Real King of England is languishing in Australia. By that token, Mudavadi is Dynasty. Ruto is dynasty and George Khaniri is dynasty.
The only problem I have with Auko is his flip flopping. The an is the type that wants to be the most intelligent in every room and if the room fails to recognize him, he spews bile.
Interrogating what leaders or politicians say is never checked ie due diligence is not done.
I also think Uhuru was the cos of Raila failure, they thought Uhuru was doing him favour but that brought Raila's downfall, majority wouldn't like to see continuation of Uhuru regime, considering pple believed Raila would hv bn controlled by uhuru like a remote.
I sincerely beleive uhuru betrayed Odinga my friend
@@billjames1216what about 2013 and 2017
@@kelvingachina 2013 -2017 it seems uhuru did not know he is the president
@panafricannation watu sio wajinga bwana bila chebukati hakuna Ruto tusemezane ukweli tu
@@billjames1216 Ruto used propaganda on part of uhuru so that Kikuyu can hate on him and use him as an object of aggression and hate and Raila phobia on part of Raila in central. Also people from mount Kenya feared not voting Ruto because of 2007 post election in rift valley most of them paid the debt, that the reason now Ruto wants uhuru support to gain 800k who voted Raila in central and jubilee party so as to avoid rebellion in central and voter aparthy considering voter turnout in central was low compared to 2013 and 2017, remember if they voted to punish uhuru in 2027 they will not, if they voted because of sympathy for Ruto they will not and if Raila will not be on the ballot voter turnout will be low ,no dynasty and huslers narrative , no blamegames,no sympathy votes. Did people voted Ruto or voted against Raila? Ask yourself if uhuru supported Ruto would there be huslers and dynasty narrative?
Dude, handshake will never make Kikuyus vote for Raila or any other Luo for that matter. Kikuyus would rather burn Kenyan down to the ground than vote for a Luo to run it.
And that's why Africans are collectively at the bottom worldwide. A mentality based on petty division.
Very true,kikuyus hate luos to death.Raila was naive to rally luos to vote for kibaki.Luos should see kikuyus for who they are.
@@kenyanowtvKikuyus look down on everyone but you still allow them to come and do business in your regions while importing their own at the same time.
If Wajakoya or the Priest made it to presidency i would agree with you Daktari anyone could become a president
With all due respect. Our politics is tribal that's what the guest is missing.. Two tribes have the numbers that's it!
Numbers have nothing to do with it, they're just more tribal.If other tribes did the same there would be no president from there as they would not be splitting their votes unlike the two.
@@triplebeans4159 interesting point of view
President Ruto has told Kenyans that he wants to be held accountable. Let us watchfuly give them a chance.
In a first world country Aukot would have already done his second term as president... Here hata mca haezi Pata.... We should stop crying eti Sijui Ruto or Raila or uhuru... We are still on a destiny charted by our so called founding fathers.. The shackles are made of steel. Even when Gachagua takes over in 2032 bado Kuna mkono ya Kanu hapo.we hope for the best.
And another aspect... The president has allowed lots of opposition and gives them lots of freedom... That is a very tough game plan.. From all. Those critics he will work on them and by 2027.. It will be so tough since there will be less issues not sorted
Dr Ekuru disliked Raila presidency coz of his association with Uhuru while Ruto was Uhurus deputy my head is spinning are u for real.
Very incoherent.
Very true, you can't tell what Ekuru stands for
While you fight for the country interests but always look out for yourself
Dr. Ekuru in Kenya you need money and the ordinary people to get to the presidency.
Everything else is just Hot Air!
Mau mau were fighting for their land in central Kenya but not the larger kenya
Critical thinking has to be imparted through some kind of comprehensive civic education.
So, what exactly is this guy saying?
I wonder why.
the sovereignty belongs to kenyans n they can recall their mps
RUTO will be the best president ever ,he is focused, determined ,brave, that's what a president should be , radical changes should be taken to get Kenya out of woods of debt RUTO have a vision support people to achieve their visions let's be destiny connectors
Their end has come to an end (2 negative).It means , it is beginning a gain .
this ct guy and this jacket bana, spicefm nunulia jamaa jacket ingine aki
Honestly some of us didn't know about state capture till Ruto come to presidency,the cartels eg KPLC
You are right Dr. But remember Ruto's lamentations are pegged to the pressure exerted by his predessessor which Kibaki did not face. Uhuru was young and inagressive being Moi's choice so even after he was traused, he went mum. Moi himself valued the nation beyond personal interest. Moreover, he went silent to give his successor time and space to work. That was support enough. Raila was on check now that he was the king maker and for that matter, no one could spark violence.
If jomo was a con man kindly explain to us why he was sent to kapenguria?
Ruto will be in power for 10 years
It is not the voting that matters but the ‘counting’ of the votes.
He defeated the system, if he wanted he could stay for 30 years.
KSh 1m sio pesa bro. You can't get to the big leagues if you're worried about losing KSh 1m.
This guy okot is speaking nonsense.He just admitted to electing ruto and talking ill.about his government..
This is the man who was supposed to be the president of Kenya
Ekuru, we need to differentiate between politicians and leaders. Calling these people leaders is an abuse in defining leadership. Leadership has certain qualities not seen with these crop of Kenyans. Leadership is earned not handed over.
Ekuru AUKOT should know that if Kenyatta was a conman then the colonialist arresting Kenyatta was also conmanship.
If Aukot is appointed to an office he will change tune.
I don't think that is fair considering he's not been in any elective seat.. You cannot compare him to Kanu Era politicians like raila Ruto mudavadi kalonzo etc or we will not be able to chart a new path.
A million of kenya got nothing to smile about with this regine
Ruto is not like us. He is a child of Moi Aukot and you had fallen into ruto's trap.
One question to Hon. Ekuru. Is Malala a CS without portfolio? If yes, is he paid by taxpayers money? Should he be appointed a CS without portfolio like Uhuru did with Tuju? What's the legal position on Malala?
I just hope this is not a conversation we'll have after the next general election
We praised kibaki presidency during the second term.....not the first year.....so relax
So this guy mean moi and kibaki was also a blessing too after ruto there can also be a Kenyatta presidency
Ekuru Okuot once saud " baba anachechezwa and he repeated it twice, and he said a time is coming where kikuyus won't listen to uhuru, and that came to pass
This has not gone out of Gachagwa's mind...tribal and regional groupings.
For Ruto it's awin for ekuru cos he wants presidency
Ekuru jidinye huko mbwaiii
Double speak at its best 😂
Too many words, little facts.
What facts do you want?
Radicalized with wheelbarrow mentality.. For your information wheelbarrows are now on parking.
Someone pliz explain to me how Raila benefited from being the son of Jaramogi, so much so that he is a dynasty.
Ama we shud create a law banning sons and daughters of former leaders from ever running for office?
But where are these leaders whom they deamed fit to lead this country now that kenyans are in problem and real leadership is now required or its only at election ??? 7:49
Kibaki diid not complain because after his win moi did not go ahead frustrate him... Uhuru is really working hard to pull Ruto down.... It's realizing that so you have to defend
Dr Ekuru Aukot is a brilliant mind that we Kenyans regardless of tribe or being a billionaire like these thieves we elected should be given a chance .Kenyans and especially Mt Kenya region has grown beyond tribe but this Ruto Administration has failed all Kenyans imencely .
Aukot...keep dreaming
