Today the subject of my pen – which some people call acerbic – is the enigmatic Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, the son of Mairu. Kalonzo is one of the only duo of the top self-made political mandarins in Kenya. The other is the irascible William Ruto, the country’s numero dos.

But of the two, it’s Kalonzo who is more intriguing, and has a better chance of snatching the State House. In my book, Ruto has zero probability – even possibility – of ever occupying Kenya’s most famous address. But let me not muddy Kalonzo’s day by conflating him with Ruto.
