The arrest of former Chief Justice David Maraga shows how low Ruto’s regime has sunk.
When a government starts arresting former Chief Justices, activists and ordinary citizens for standing up on public issues, it is no longer governing through legitimacy, persuasion or the people’s mandate.
Ruto has lost the people, and what remains is rule by the gun, intimidation and police power. This is how regimes behave when they know the ground has shifted beneath them.
