President William Ruto should borrow a leaf from Kenya's third President, Mwai Kibaki, to create a lasting legacy of his tenure instead of clawing back on some the gains the country has made.
This was the recurring theme of a series of talks rendered by some of President Ruto's most vocal critics, led by his impeached deputy president, Rigathi Gachagua and former Attorney General, Justin Muturi, during a memorial in honour of Mwai Kibaki.
On Friday, leaders who gathered at the Nairobi Serena Hotel exalted former President Kibaki as a development-oriented and forward-looking leader under whose stewardship the country flourished, simultaneously admonishing the ills perpetrated by the Kenya Kwanza government.
Gachagua, former vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, immediate former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Muturi and DAP-Kenya party leader Eugene Wamalwa led the charge in drawing parallels between President Kibaki's tenure and that of Ruto, noting that the latter should do more.
