Democratic Action Party of Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa has put forward a new theory that Raila Odinga is Kenya's political 'turncoat' of the century.

The former CS says if there's anyone who merits the 'watermelon' label, it isn't Wiper boss Kalonzo Musyoka but the ODM leader, given the many hands he has shaken since 2007. On Tuesday alongside opposition leaders Martha Karua and Mr Musyoka, Mr Wamalwa claimed that Mr Odinga's 'presence' in government will ruin key reforms outlined in the National Dialogue and Reconciliation Committee (Nadco) report.
