Why NASA got it wrong in Bomet

The issue today is not whether it achieved the set objective, which was to demonstrate NASA can get away with a slice of Rift Valley’s vote, by bringing Mr Ruto on board to join Kanu, represented by Secretary General Nick Salat.PHOTO: COURTESY

The National Super Alliance rally in Bomet last week to me was counter-productive.

The issue at hand was the wooing of Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto through his Chama Cha Mashinani Party. He was the host and politics is a game of seduction where one tries to be as charming and inviting as possible.
