Does
Raila haunt the government?
Even after walking out of the corridors of
power, the former premier who enjoys support countrywide seems to retain his
political strength and zeal and has not yet relinquished his political quest.
The much sought after politician in Kenya today, seems to be gaining ground for
the future days.
But probably after losing the March 4th
Elections in a disputed election to his counterpart Hon Uhuru Kenyatta that saw
him file a case at the Supreme court, the CORD Principal has had several
roadblocks from the state and from state agents.
The question as to why the former premier
should retain state cars and at the same time be offered a VIP reception and
state bodyguards has sparked the question as to why the former Premier Hon Raila
Amollo Odinga haunts the UhuRuto duo Government.
Probably we have seen the Cord Principal
and his deputy Hon Kalonzo make several business trips to the West and mobilize
multibillion projects for their counties. The recent move by the Ugandan
President Hon Museveni urging President Uhuru to treat Raila with dignity is
pointer to the fact that the former premier could be haunting the Government.
Earlier calls by the State House to have
Raila resign from politics and pick a task to be issued to him is also a keen
pointer that the Government is not comfortable with the moves of the former
prime minister.
The UhuRuto duo has also been seen to be
keen on those who surround the Cord Principal. We have seen them summon Eliud
Owallo who was a chief campaign manager of Raila in a bid to frustrate the Cord
Principal. Probably, the only option the government has is to come into terms
with the fact that the cord principal is very influential and agree to work
with him so as to have a better nation.
