Former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga is an enigma of Kenyan politics. Raila has played an immense role when it comes to the liberation of this nation from poor governance.
Calls for Raila to hang his political boots to pave way for youthful leadership are baseless and driven by leaders who think about themselves and not this nation.
The fact that millions of Kenyans who still believe that he should lead this nation shows that he is a great leader. Kenyans have suffered over years because of corruption among other malpractices.
Raila is one of the leaders who has fought toe to nail to ensure Kenya is corruption free. Kenyans still need Raila to keep the current government under watch when it comes to the use of public resources.
The opposition leaders brought to the knowledge of Kenyans mega scandals such as Eurobond, National Youth Service (NYS) and Afya House scandal among others. Not for Raila, Kenyans could still be suffering without knowledge of where the funds have been going. Whether he becomes the president or not, Raila is still one of the most powerful politicians Kenyan has today.
