There is a well-known saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Four years ago, Kenya was presented with what was billed as a super coalition of different parties uniting under a single banner, or rather Raila Odinga’s quest for power.

Kalonzo Musyoka agreed to be Odinga’s running partner after the latter had gone back on a promise the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader made in 2002 when he declared President Kibaki Tosha (fit to lead) against Kalonzo’s expectation, and in 2007 when they fought over the first Orange party until Odinga and his team left after failing to get their way.
