Once a son of a Kenyan founding father was disgruntled by the direction his country was taking, and, targeted by the atrocious state, twisted a knot in the tail of Kanu's predatory regime - his name is Raila Odinga.
By daring to challenge Kanu, Raila had, as Aristotle would put it, leaped into a despot's throne. He would go on to serve nine years in detention, largely without trial. The rest, as they say, is history.
Following the election of William Ruto as president, there is no price for guessing that Raila may after all not become president. As Jesus said on the cross, it is finished.
