He is the prophet who saw what many of us did not see either because we were not in tune with the politics in this country or because we chose not see.
Former National Assembly speaker Farah Maalim predicted the troubles that the opposition alliance NASA is grappling with.
In several interviews with the local media outlets, Hon. Farah contended that the National Super Alliance (NASA) had been formed with the express purpose of capturing state power which it failed to capture, and given the fact that it had failed to do so it would not survive to see the next elections.
''NASA was formed to capture power. That did not happen and I don't it surviving the next elections,'' he told a local media station after the dramatic mock inauguration of Raila Odinga which other NASA principals boycotted.
In hindsight, it appears that Hon. Farah Maalim knew what we did not know.
He was correct as evidenced by the state of disarray into which NASA has been plunged into.
Political pundits now agree with the former Lagdera lawmaker that NASA is surviving on borrowed time.
