"Haaaaayaaaa!" This invocation can only mean one thing: that the opposition leader Raila Odinga aka Baba is in the offing and he seems to be just about everywhere: Kisumu, Trans Nzoia, Nakuru... He will conclude a tour in Kiambu county by weekend, before the Monday rally that he has promised will herald a season of "mass action" countrywide.
Predictably, everyone has become an expert on civil disobedience and there is a particular anxiety about the brand that Baba calls "mass action". In the popular street lingo, the latter is mouthed as "mass akson." That sounds like a hacksaw, which is rather apt given its penetrating effect on the masses. Put simply, when the masses are mobilised to display their "akson," all bets are off.
