Raila’s political life is like that of the two proverbial men who went to a market to sell their animals, one took a goat while the other one took a monkey.
After they paraded their animals, the one with a monkey got the biggest crowd of onlookers that sent shivers down the spine of the goat owner. All day long, they stood there enquiring about the price of the monkey with a bit of chuckles.
But the onlookers could only pass by the goat owner, ask the price, note it down and then spend the rest of the time being entertained by the monkey and her owner.
When the evening came, people rushed to the goat owner’s stall, all with a desire to buy the goat. He sold it to the highest bidder with little effort.
By this time the monkey owner was alone, after the deal was done, he complained that the goat owner had stolen his customers.
Raila will surely have crowds in the streets but not votes in the ballot box. Like the monkey owner, let him keep entertaining Kenyans with his theatrics. We all know where to put our money and our votes!
