Raila should keep off Jubilee's political cockfight

In recent weeks after the concluded Malindi elections, we have witnessed how the Jubilee machinery is being used to frustrate the opposition and its members including governors. From the closure of businesses, withdrawal of body guards and criminal charges being brought against certain governors. While all these has been happening the leader of the opposition has been out and about visiting respectable countries and giving lectures at reputable institutions.

Anyone with knowledge will clearly see the government is out to frustrate the opposition by any means possible and keep them busy chasing meaningless accusations against their members; it is clearly being done to belittle the status of the opposition and its three big names Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula.
