Last week there was an outrage on social media after former vice president told off a journalist on the basis of tribe. It is no secret that Kenya is stuck with UhuRuto for the next 20 years just as Russia has been stuck with Putin/Medvedev in the past 14yrs.
Kalonzo might have stirred the hornets nest to remain relevant, but the CORD coalition still remains pale and un-inspiriring. The de facto CORD leader Raila Odinga is on a sabbatical in Boston and the vacuum left at home is evident. A vacuum that Moses Wetangula and Kalonzo Musyoka combined, leave alone individually cannot fill.
Although Kenyans protestations on Kalonzo's un-witty-ness are very hypocritical (Kalonzo was just being Kenyan), it is about time long-serving leaders hung their boots. Kalonzo is a well meaning leader who has served Kenya for a long period of time and should do the honourable thing of retiring from "active" politics because the presidency might be a little far fetched for him.There is a lot of respect in bowing out voluntarily. Kubanduka kuna heshima. The same can be said of the former prime minister Raila Odinga, even he stands at better odds as far as the presidency is concerned.
