“@Winnie_Odinga and @charlruto can’t be compared at all, they have different personalities. From their activities, their goals and objectives are different. 48 Laws of power; the end justifies the means. The two have different goals; the end will justify the means.”

“Winnie looks so entitled n in control like the world owes her. Charleen appears selfless and focused on real charity plus it’s like she was built for this. President Ruto raised his kids well; they make news for the right reasons.”
