By AB Murage Eghmp LET ME BE VERY CLEAR, RAILA ODINGA CAN NOT BE AND IS NOT ANYONE'S RIVAL especially not a person of a mayoral stature and of no history in the likes of Kidero. I know he is happy to hear the media say so as implying so gives him an undue political leverage. It's like giving him a chunk of meat too big to swallow or a shoe too big to wear.

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
