Raila Odinga is not equal to Homa bay Senatorial seat.
The law makers pushing for former Prime Minister to take over
Kajwang should have thought twice before the making their decisions.
I agree that the former PM is well versed with our country Kenya
and is full of leadership skills, however, I don't think he should
contest for the seat left vacant by Kajwang.
Raila is a national leader, yes, but let us consider the following facts.
With Raila back to the Senate, he will be part of the
legislature, while in the past, when he was the PM, he was part of the
executive. Don't you think this is a degradation of Odinga?
Two, if Odinga goes to the senate, Wetangula should be prepared
to quit his position as Minority leader since Raila is number one flag
bearer of CORD. Most people will term this as being selfish..
However, his presence in the senate will bring a big change and
will be a game changer in this country's politics.
I think the Jubilee government will have a hard task 'taking
care' of Raila's numerous demands.
If the Jubilee government has been reacting to all Raila's
comments on issues while he was out of the parliament, what about when
he will be holding a senatorial position?
However, the question that Kenyans need to ask themselves is
this; Is Raila ready to take over Kajwang's seat after his demise? If
the efforts to get Raila into the parliament is positive to this
nation, them let him go for it.
On the other hand, if the intention is to hamper the progress of
the Jubilee government and get Kenya stuck, he should as well forget
about it.
