Raila presidency dream now farther than ever before

Betrayal in the city. This is the perception ODM’s Deputy party leader Musalia Mudavadi supporters had of party leader Raila Odinga’s allies when they filed registration documents recently. ODM Secretary General Anyang’ Nyong’o and his lieutenants’ big smiles crowned a turning point in the country’s political history. The tug-of-war that threatens to tear apart the Orange party has claimed other giant parties before. The self-destruction pattern is too familiar but clouded by passion of power. The protagonists want the law to favour them in their mad rush to State House, but in the ensuing tussle, ODM lies on its deathbed.

I’m reminded of the Kiswahili saying: Vita vya panzi furaha ya kunguru (The war between locusts is the crows joy, or something like that).
