Caption: Raila Odinga, the NASA supremo.(Photo/ reuters )Raila Odinga has spend his entire life to build a thriving democracy in our country and deserves every accolade for giving his life to make this country a better place to live in for ourselves and our children. His has been a struggle against all manner of forces resistant to change in the old ways. If we are to rate comrade Raila Odinga, we would easily put him on the pedestal hosting all revolutionaries. However, like any product on the shelf, Raila's credentials have a sell-by-date. Any attempt to outlive the sell-by-date will definitely have tragic consequences.I will narrate to you the tragic tale of one uncle Robert Mugabe who tried to outlive his crucial life on the shelf. It didn't help him either that he had a Delilah-reincarnate in the house who would tell him frequently that he was God's own representative on earth. The result has been rotten egg on the face of the liberation hero as the military have reportedly put him under house arrest and taken over power.That is why I feel that I should pass the message of the gods to comrade Raila. The gods warn me to tell him that there is a cabal comprising merchants of violence who are out to soil his good name by using it to perpetuate violence in the guise of demonstrations. I advice comrade Raila to run away from this cabal of people proliferating violence in his name. The country wants to remember Raila for the peace prevailing in the country. We do not want to remember him for the many acts of hooliganism committed in his name. We will always remember a man who sowed the seeds of love and harmony.
