Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka is indeed a wise man.
According to the first law of power, you need to make your seniors feel superior.
Kalonzo has reduced himself to an errand boy as he strategizes how to "pita katikati yao” without showing that he is a threat to anyone.
The Ukambani political kingpin knows that he needs to make those in power appear brighter than you are.
He has ensured that President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga look superior, which has seen him receive praises as well as criticisms from different factions.
Kalonzo's remarks make it unclear of his intentions ahead of 2022 polls.
The third law of power, to gain true power, one must leave his enemies lost and uninformed.
Deputy President William Ruto has openly become the man to watch ahead of the next presidential race.
Various political leaders across the country are now planning to block Ruto's presidential bid in 2022 elections.
The call for a referendum is considered one of the ways to stop Ruto from ascending to power when that time comes.
Kalonzo and Ruto could find themselves thrown under the bus if Uhuru endorses Raila for the top seat and he takes the post of the Prime Minister when that time comes.
