Speculations are now rife as to whether the former National Assembly speaker Farah Maalim has finally called it quits in active politics.
The vibrant politician who emerged second in the last Garissa Township legislative race has maintained a low profile in politics sparking off heated debates.
Maalim, who has been quiet on matters politics for a while now, has resolved to focus on peace deals along the horn of Africa, a fact that his followers have alleged that he could be warming up for an ambassadorial post courtesy of the recent Uhuru-Raila handshake.
If these rumors are anything to go by, then Maalim will be the first member of the Wiper party to be rewarded by the Jubilee government months after the peace deal was signed.
The fierce Duale critic has unsuccessfully vied for the Garissa legislative seat twice but to no avail.
His political career now is now at stake, with supporters left speculating on the seat he will next set his eyes on.
