On swearing-in plans, Raila is endangering his political legacy

There’s a game that is a contest of bravery. It is about testing guts, it is called ‘Chicken.’ If for example there are two drivers on a collision course, heading in each other’s direction at top speed, one must swerve or both will die in the crash. But if one swerves and the other keeps going the one who swerved will be called ‘the chicken,’ meaning a coward.

The Kenyan version of the game is called ‘sema ng’we!’ or ‘dare me’! In promising to swear himself in, Raila is telling Uhuru ‘sema ng’we’ and in response, Kenyatta is telling him the same.
