Whenever Deputy President William Ruto wants to tease former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, he would refer to him as yule jamaa wa vitendawili. The point being that Mr Odinga is all talk and no action.

As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. For his many unfulfilled promises, opponents of the Jubilee candidate in the Kericho by-election have coined a name for the DP.
