Presidency is like football- even the best players are substituted. Cord leader Raila Odinga is one of the most misunderstood politicians in Kenya.
The Opposition leader is hated and loved in equal measure. The percentage of Kikuyu and Kalenjin voters backing Raila’s fight for presidency is negligible.
The future of this nation remains dark if we are going to continue electing leaders based on the blood that follows in their veins rather than their character.
The former prime minister is not an enemy of the Kikuyu community. One of the greatest desires of Raila is to see Kenya’s enjoying fruits of Devolution.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have been given a chance to showcase their leadership skills, and it is clear that they have not done much.
During the reign of the two leaders, we have witnessed the cost of living, rise. Who would want to struggle again for five more years or ten if Ruto takes over?
How much money has been lost through different mega scandals? Will we sit back and watch Kenya declared a failed state?
Raila has been recognised as one of the most influential personalities in this nation. Let's not wait for him to die before we start heaping him with praises.
