Irungu Kang’ata, who wrote letters warning of an impending political implosion in Mt Kenya in the last election, has dropped the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) like hot iron.

But since renouncing the ruling party six days ago, there have been no cheers for the governor. Instead, Mr ‘Kang’ata wa mabarua’ has a lot of explaining to do. For not disclosing his next election vehicle, he comes across as a paper tiger living on borrowed time.
