Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga has molded many politicians.
The young as well as the old benefit from his exceptional charisma.
When Baba talks in Kenya, Africa and overseas; people listen.
The former prime minister is a public figure that is loved and hated in equal measure.
This made the late orator Kijana Wamalwa say "you are either Railamaniac or Railaphobic."
The Railamaniacs benefit from his political know how but some end up ditching him unceremoniously.
Most of them end up fading politically and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho risks the same political demise.
Joho has to remain loyal until the end.
Sampling examples of this Kenyan political reality is the easiest political analysis you can try out.
Ababu Namwamba is the latest victim and is paying the price for betraying Odinga.
Three of his major supporters when he was ditching his mentor have either joined Jubilee or returned home to ODM.
Ababu was the 'General' waiting to be crowned a western kingpin but he is now a political fugitive in his own homeland.
His Budalangi post will now be an open seat in the 2017 elections.
Those who can recall how former Cherangani MP Joshua Kutuny entered politics should be surprised by his current post.
The vibrant fresh graduate was Baba's lieutenant thanks to Raila's hand in his sail to parliament.
He threatened established politicians in the North Rift but made a fatal political decision.
He is currently a presidential advisor not by merit but as a political reward for his campaigns for UHURUTO.
There are many other politicians who have been forgotten because of this fact.
Governor 001 should not make the same mistake despite his established national acceptance.
He might end up with a county party like his friend Namwamba, which is not healthy for his presidential dream.
