He has no technocrat advisors just political flower gals like Junet. David Ndii was the economist now he is pushing a wheelbarrow. Calestous Juma was the policy geek and international hub, he died. Anyang’ Nyong’o was the governance guy and the one who would put everything together, he’s retired from national politics now cooling heels in odhush. Orengo was relevant in pushing for a constitutional agenda, now katiba is not an issue, we crossed the bridge and BBI an attempt to revive Jimmy’s relevance died. Outside constitutional matters Ajimmy is like a eunuch in sabina joy. Baba hana agenda hana sera. Uhuru’s advisors are in it simply for the money and because their boss told them to otherwise their hearts are not in it,some moonlight for jambazi sugoi others are with Mukhisa. Debate ikifanywa, jambazi sugoi will wipe the floor with Raila as weird to say. Akina Mukhisa will be gentle with him
But have you listened to Raila speak? That guy knows Kenya very well plus he knows the history.
Two days ago he said he would build a dam somewhere in Athi river to help women and pastorolists. That is a good idea. He illustrated the history of that dam since the 1960s and why it was never built.
Ruto hawezi jitetea juu for ten years he was Deputy President. Akiongea watu wanauliza but si hata saa hii unaeza fanya hivyo ukitaka?
Raila has shown an ability to put togeza a competent team,this has been seen in the past.It will be seen going forward.The point is not just putting togesa a team,but the intelligence to understand the problem and head hunt talent capable of solving.
During the upcoming debate,we expect that clip of Ruto explaining completion of stadiums to be played to set the tempo first.Only lies and blame games can provide answers.
Ile confidential report uhuru was shown resulting to handshake had only one solution,expand hapo juu and make Raila a president,even if one term.So for the good of Kenya,Raila is your next president.
I wonder what will Raila do for Kenya if he did not do anything for Nyanza and Langata and Kibra for all the decades he was in power? Uhuru did more to help Nyanza in the past year or so via handshake than Raila has done in his entire career. After all Uhuru needed to endear himself to the Luo so he gave them “development”. Projects which Raila could have easily pushed for when he was the PM. But he was busy robbing Dominion. And that’s just a scandal that we have heard of. Who knows what else he’s done over the years.
He is just another greedy corrupt politician with empty promises. But because of the experiences he endured during Moi’s reign of terror, and because he is charismatic and elderly, there is this feeling that he has “earned” the right to be this way. Even worse there is this hope that people have, that he will “give back”. Yet he has no history of doing that. At all. Someone who can’t even uplift his people won’t be interested in the rest of the country. He will just amass more wealth and do the bidding of whoever propels him to power.
The only reason Raila has any support right now is because many fear Ruto more than him. He is seen as the lesser evil. Yet he and Ruto were thick as thieves in 2007/8. Kenyans are idiots and we deserve what we get.
