History repeats itself. Raila Odinga formally joined Moi and KANU on March 18, 2002.
During the KANU and NDP merger in Kasarani, Raila became the Secretary General.
He used that position to kill KANU, form the LDP, and retire the independence party’s decades of dominance.
Raila will get his double. He will finish off Jubillee, the vehicle assembled by Moi KANU orphans to stop Raila and Kalonzo from succeeding President Kibaki.
Whatever happens thereafter, Raila will solidify his position as the undisputed political legend in Kenya.
To create space for him, Vice President George Saitoti was booted out.
Raila Odinga will formally join the President Uhuru succession matrix on 30th November 2022.
And DP William Ruto will officially divorce his boss Uhuru Kenyatta and end whatever lingering pretense about a plan B for the troubled Presidency.
The dessert on the Jubillee menu will be the ouster of Speaker Justin Muturi from the Party.
A smokescreen?
The Uhuru game plan is again to the Moi poker in 2002. Moi created regional kingpins Katana Ngala(Mijikenda), Kalonzo Musyoka(Ukambani) Musalia Mudavadi(Part of Luhia), Uhuru Kenyatta(GEMA) and Raila Odinga(Luo Nyanza).
These were the weapon formed against Saitoti and the allies he had secretly assembled as he pretended to be the preferred successor.
Uhuru’s team is pretty like old Moi’s. Raila, Kalonzo, Mudavadi, Wetangula, Gideon Moi, and Justin Muturi…all formed to stop the wheelbarrow from accessing State House. Trouble is the Kalonzo team is resisting Raila’s grand march to State House.
The real Uhuru succession will unveil on 1st December. Watch this space.
