The harsh reality of Kenyan politics seems to be sinking in slowly in the minds of NASA players as the gears of our national discourse have shifted to the 2022 political math.
There seem to be a dawning reality that Raila may not be president after all even after his chest-thumbing act of 'swearing himself in'.
Kalonzo Musyoka seems to be the most hit by the new dry spell; he was recently seen jostling to be the lead lawyer in Charity Ngilu's court case where she is accused of an alleged incitement to violence that saw several charcoal trucks set ablaze in her county.
Kalonzo has also painstakingly attempted to distance himself from calls to swear-in as Raila's deputy.
On the other hand, Moses Wetangula seems to read from a different script. In the course of the week, he has been seen having a tete-a-tete with Deputy President William Ruto, prompting speculation that he, too, may have shifted his focus to 2022.
William Ruto is known to be a shrewd political player who has trodden Kenya's political landscape like a colossus. He is a well-oiled and efficient political chess player who knows what he wants and goes for it.
Do not be surprised if you see William Ruto and Moses Wetangula sharing a plate of 'Obusuma' and the famed 'Mrenda' very soon. Chicken wings will not miss in this menu of course.
