Raila never betrayed Gen Zs; he saved Kenya at a critical moment

It was a moment of great personal joy when I watched Raila Odinga's good performance at the AUC Debate dubbed 'Mjadala Afrika'. While I know many people Across Africa and the world were struck by Baba's clarity of mind, many of us reveled in joy because that is the horse we have always backed in every election. Raila's life in public service has been nothing but exemplary. Kenya, to a great extent, remains a giant in the area of road network connectivity in large part due to his foresight. If you look at Thika Road today, you would not know that at the time it was being done, so much flak was directed at the office of Prime Minister, headed by Raila then, by people who would ultimately become the biggest primary beneficiaries of that highway. That flak, for history's sake was laced with ethnic innuendos much of which was misplaced.

At the office of Prime Minister, we had the conception of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport, whose potential in opening the northern corridor remains unmatched.
