What is President Ruto communicating to “we the people”? In applying this post office model Ruto and his handlers are focusing their attention on the sending process, rather than the give-and-take of effective conversations. In the extreme, thinking in terms of the post office model leaves President Ruto to make decisions in isolation or miss the early warning signs of dysfunctional momentum.
