ODM should persuade Ababu Namwamba to stay

So many anti-Ababu Namwamba opinion pieces have been written, the few I have read are outright bitter with his move to resign as Secretary General of the largest political party in Kenya. Ababu Namwamba's resignation as SG shouldn't be taken lightly. ODM should go back to the drawing board and ask itself why this keeps happening a year to elections and how to prevent the defection of members to other parties.

That said I think accusations by the party and its supporters that leaders from Western region are being bought is malicious and diversionary from the real issue. I read Barrack Muluka's piece on the parable of the Bossy Tortoise and I tend to agree with him.
