The politics playing inside ODM

Shakespeare emplaces it so clear that “the world is but a stage, we all have our comings and goings, entrance and exit, and we have to know when to leave.” Let’s adduce to this quote that has been widely abused by African leaders but with a peculiar interest to one Raila Amolo Odinga.

It’s ostensible that Raila suffers from the Prima donna syndrome. The 71-year-old who was first elected as Member of Parliament for Langata, has remained germane in the game for the past twenty one years that he has been in government.  His well-structured moves brought him close to his dream of the presidency but he ended up being Kenya’s second prime minister in 2008. At this juncture for me, it was a well done job for him and time to leave the stage for other actors whom he had been introducing in the game. His “lust” for a better Kenya sent him back to the ballot five years later but this time round he faced some of his own who seized being one of his own. He was defeated.
