After the frenzy, NASA must re-package itself

I applaud CJ Maraga and the Supreme Court for the landmark ruling they made on Friday, 1 September 2017. I do so not because I am a supporter of Odinga but because I am a lover of truth. The Holy Book states, “speak the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Well, for the most part, in the eye of the public and of the world, the Supreme Court has “redeemed” and set itself free. Kenya becomes the third country in the world—and the first in Africa—to nullify a presidential election.

Without dilly-dallying, the question NASA luminaries should begin asking themselves is, “where do we go from here?” The celebratory frenzy on their part was—and is—understandable. But it must not cloud their strategy as to think that they are home and dry. In the grand scheme of things, the nullification of President Uhuru’s re-election takes us to square one. It is going to be a marathon and the Railonzo team needs to re-organize themselves in a way they never have. It is Raila’s very last gift from the gods. Considering that Uhuru is still the de facto and de jure president with a fairly strong popularity and clout, it is not to be imagined that it is going to be an easy ride.
