The country's present politics is revolving around Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto and Raila Odinga. The former is on the last days of his ten-year tenure and its his seat Raila and Samoei are angling to occupy.
Of the fields in the world, politics is the least disciplined venture. Incase you are a contender, expect to witness all forms of dirty games. The historic handshake between Jomo and Jaramogi sons saved the country from plunging into a political abyss.
Contrary, as Uhuru-Raila camaraderie grew so did UhuRuto relationship dampen. Though this was a blow to Jubilee Party fandoms who had expected longevity between the two brothers, the new dalliance sent ODM camp into a celebratory moods.
As pundits and Uhuru-Raila supporters enjoy fruits of the handshake, its possible that the head of state and his deputy are secretly working together to trounce Agwambo. How is that possible? One may wonder.
It was the escalating political tension which saw Uhuru extending his hand to NASA leader on March 2018. From their handshake, Building Bridges Initiative came to be and it Raila who leading the bandwagon.
Instead of concentrating in solving that which had threatened the country's stability, Raila's cronies are instead exploiting their relationship with Uhuru to lay ground for Jakom's 2022 presidential shot.
As long as Jubilee Coalition's 2013 pre-election pact lives, Uhuru and William are bound to support each other for at least twenty years. So? Baba's hopes of winning Uhuru's support is a natural pipedream.
Historically, Raila has been a nightmare to various leaders among them Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki. The only way out of his grip is either giving in to his demands or tame him by enticement. This seems to be the strategy Muigai is presently capitalizing on.
Betraying Ruto for Raila is not as hazardous as flaunting the the former and despising the latter. Jubilee Party leader probably schemed to fool Raila and cast his deputy to 'opposition'. This was designed to earn the son of Sugoi sympathy and help him establish his 2022 foundation.
Its bare to all and sundry that William has became a brand since his enemies started dismounting his camp with all sorts of political machinations, this is sure a preparation for greatness.
