Opiyo Wandayi: I don’t quite agree with him. All those things Murgor is whining about could possibly be true. But they’re not enough to make a serious presidential contender quit the race even before it starts.

Moreover, one of the factors that drive progressive individuals to pursue political power is the desire to right the wrongs in society - the very wrongs that Philip Murgor is citing for his premature surrender! I’ve always argued that in the present Kenya’s political landscape, there’s is no room for the so-called third force.
