Raila odinga has been known as father of democracy in kenya.He will be remembered in kenya history as an individual who greatly fought for realisation new constitution, which was promagated in the year 2010.This new constitution saw the birth of county goverments(Devolution).only three years after constitution was realised,Raila is now advocating for a referundum to change kenya from a presidential to a parliamentary system of governance.Does it mean Raila never knew the best system for kenya before the new constitution?As a nigerian writer referred to him as an Engima in kenya politics,Raila odinga is the smartest politician in kenya.After supreme court upheld uhuru kenyatta election which Raila claimed he had been rigged out,he respected but disagreed with the ruling and vowed to use other means.Might the call for refundum be the 'other means' he talked about?The truth of the matter is that Raila being a very bright politician,he is using the issue of referundum to pressure the uhuru administration to fully implement devolution, failure to which they will loose public faith and this might trigger a referundum.Otherwise it is not practical for Raila to call for a referundum ofwhich will be conducted by Iebc,the body he got no trust with.

I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship.
