The viral open letter to Raila Odinga doing rounds on social media

Baba, no matter the outcome of the presidential elections, your place in the History of our country is cast in stone. No other leader, bar President Daniel Arap Moi has mentored leaders across the country. From Mombasa to Turkana to Garissa to Busia to Kajiado, and even in Meru, you picked nondescripts and gave them national profile.

Personally, I wanted you to be President and I voted for you. Many conveniently forget that without you, Kenya wouldn't have been a multi-party democracy. Moi, was there before Yoweri Museveni and Robert Mugabe. Hadn't you made possible for Kenya to be multi-party, Moi will still be President now. Your father also made sure that Jomo Kenyatta became our first Prime Minister then President.
