What you need to know:

  • It would have been completely irrational for Dr Ruto’s hard work to count for nothing.
  • A good politician must put his trust in the people, not in fellow politicians. The people keep their word.
  • Dr Ruto is a very capable and self-made leader. But there is no doubt sympathy as a political emotion helped his campaign to a certain extent.

A good politician must work hard to achieve his mission. That's the main political lesson from Dr William Ruto's win in the just concluded election.

Hard work pays. Hard work is a biblical and spiritual concept. It is also a capitalistic and moral ethos.
