        @RailaOdinga is only making things difficult for himself. I supported him initially but the moment he swore himself in as the 'people's president' i began to see him as a desperate man. He is not tactful. That doesnt mean that @UKenyatta is a reasonable president, though.

        me with you there 100%. Especially the part of @UKenyatta not being reasonable. But RAO has zero tactics to counter gava.

        Not necessarily. Thats a convenient thought. because the devil we know is horrible. But as a Kenyan who would love change we have few options. Uhuru is useless & drunk, RAO clearly has only one plan. Feel like a prezzo. Even if its fake.

        May be in Canaan the presidential duration is 2 weeks. Just speculating. The ECC (Electoral Commission of Cannan) must start preparing for new elections then.😂😂

        At 74 yrs this man may be suffering from either one of these two things, idleness or mental issue. He has absolutely no empathy for the kids and struggling families.Lack of proper education and being born with a silver spoon worsen his reasoning capabilities.

        He held his own swearing in. He should resign as the people’s president, then organize and run his own elections. He can then declare himself president again. Cheaper for Kenyans as all roads lead back here.
