Since Kenya's long-serving opposition Chief Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta shook hands on March 9th 2018 at Harambee house Nairobi, some political class and personalities have gone silent and seemingly 'buried' politically.
Raila Odinga was against the Jubilee administration since 2013 when they took power and his action of embracing and recognizing Uhuru Kenyatta as the legitimate head of state might be for the greater good of breaking the dynastic dominance in Kenya's politics.
Two Kenyan families that have ruled and controlled the country's economy and political field has been the Moi and Kenyatta families whose bonding can be traced many decades ago to which after Moi's exit in the country's helm of power in 2002, he authoritatively endorsed Uhuru Kenyatta to take up after him.
Raila has been advocating for equality and fair playing ground for all communities and political parties which has been lacking in Kenya since the early 1970s.
The ODM leader is a tough political strategist whose course of action may not be predicted due to his vast political experience, betrayals he has encountered in his political career among others.
Since the handshake effect, Senator Gideon Moi who had declared to run for the country's top seat to succeed Odinga has never been heard again in public with KANU party seemingly 'diminishing."
Odinga being a true believer in inclusivity, equality, equitable resource allocation and empowerment, may have opted to embrace Kenyatta in order to bring all Kenyans together and close in bringing to an end the political dynasties.
