ODM’s Raila Odinga has been at the centre of every significant political development in Kenya in the last three decades. Some may even say longer.
There’s no denying the irrefutable fact Raila is the centre of gravity of Kenyan politics. One may be tempted to argue this is a mantle Raila inherited from his father – Jaramogi Oginga Odinga – the first doyen of Kenyan opposition politics. But that wouldn’t be entirely correct.
