Raila remains that cornerstone that the builders rejected…
The chief cornerstone, without him Kenya falls apart.
From the inception of Kenya to now when we look at Baba’s life, he resembles that of Jesus the messiah, he was rejected abused and crucified. For the sins of the people, and still today he is abused mocked and rejected by the same people who now enjoy the freedom he fought for,
Politically, no one has deep political wounds than baba in Kenya, no one has been abused than baba, no one has been misunderstood than Raila, his story is a sad story go read Raila’s story if you have a heart you will feel it.
But maybe we will feel the pinch most when mortality will catch up with him.
Anyway life is not fair…
Willy Wanker. Uko obsessed sana na uyu mtu.
Raila has contributed much much more for public good then any other leader today
The stone which the builders rejected? Why has he then not become the cornerstone?
Baba is the cornerstone of the struggle for democracy and reforms. Makosa yake is kuwa confused na vitu ndogo then losing the plot.
His political strategists/advisors are as dumb as a dodo.The days when Miguna and Co were his political advisors ODM was on fire. Remember the build up to the orange vs banana referendum in 2005?They built good momentum and pushed Kibaki to the corner,the referendum passed,Kibaki reshuffled his cabinet/got rid of some people,ODM was the most popular political party in Kenya and in 2007 Raila won the elections.They also negotiated their way to the grand coalition govt.Raila being shortsighted,screwed over everyone,Everyone run away from him-Ruto,Mudavadi,Miguna,Balala,Ngilu.Come Makau Mutua and co,he is making blunder after blunder.He is carrying Uhuru Kenyatta’s baggage,the tax thing has already messed up his demos,Kenyans loathe Uhuru Kenyatta.He is being outmanouvered by Ruto because his strategy is basic and has been used before.Right now he is even irritating his own supporters who will switch sides.Alot of Gen Z do not have 18-23/24 have no memory of ‘Raila’s struggles’ and they do not care add0 that to Raila being old,the millennial see Raila as someone who has changed and sold out and is making blunder after blunder,this is the largest voter block.Everyone knows that he is doing demos for money and Uhuru Kenyatta and others are behind it.2027 will be a walkover for Ruto.
@YuleMseeMbaya very prescient observation.
I think Raila was ruined by Power. He became more greedy, more arrogant and more removed from reality. He struggled to destroy and undermine all his allies.
He also suffered from a very strange affliction, the truth. When people support you they fantasize and imagine what your rule will bring. Money, position, cars, roads etc.
When you take power the reality dawns on them. They see the real you. The man behind the mask as it were.
Ruto is also facing the same problem from his supporters. Mama mboga and bodabida hawako kwa equation
A third of Kenya are his fanatics. A third cannot stand him. The other fraction reacts according to the election mood.
