Raila Odinga got brush to paint 2017 signpost

Saba Saba rally came and went and so we must ask ourselves what the hullaballoo was all about. We must bear in mind the fact that politics is made up of processes knitted together by the actors, not a one-off event.

Let us first go to Raila Odinga and his Coalition for Reforms and Democracy brigade that includes in its top ranks former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, a man struggling so hard to fit into the shoes of a political rebel. He enrolled in Standard One class of political dissent in 2002, after former President Moi apparently sidestepped him and picked Uhuru Kenyatta as his preferred successor.
