Today I want to entertain a scary thought that Raila Odinga may not be in the 2022 ballot. Before someone throws a tantrum at me, think like this; what if that is what BBI is all about?—just like he and Uhuru have been telling us? I know this is a political felony given that his followers don’t want to entertain a situation where anyone purports to pull a Raila-sized crowd in his political backyards. Isn’t that ‘political plagiarism’? However, since political analysis turned agenda setting is akin to propaganda; it is wise always to hang the hide so that the other side dry too—that’s what I’m doing today.
