An argument ensued between me and my brother on the question on whether

1. Raila made the right move to sign the coalition agreement
2. he was right on his move to meet Kibaki’s son. Martha Karua and Kimunya
3. Conceding the fifty fifty ministerial portfolios

Although my argument was that accepting all the demands of your opponent in the absence of a counter demand was a maximum display of weakness, I have now changed my mind. I have changed my mind because strength is not in an adamant neglect of humanity needs at the expense of an individual’s. Raila for once beat me to the punch. For the first time  I heard a voice of reason. A voice that argued for life rather than death. Raila at first said, let the presidency die but kenyan people live while Kibaki chose the opposite by inaugurating himself after six pm against the law. Raila went a head and accepted a prime minister position while he was supposed to  demand his democratic win. Indeed Raila went beyond the protocol to meet none entities like Kibaki’s son and even Martha Karua to paint a picture of a reconciliatory mood in Kenya. Here is a question I have for all Kenyans, what more do want the son of Odinga to do. How low can Raila go.

What ever you suggest that he does, you must put yourself in his shoes. Raila won the election no doubt. Why is he still negotiating with Kibaki. Can Kibaki rule Kenya if Raila says no? I highly doubt it. Can otherwise happen? I believe it will. Based on this hypothesis , Raila should not give anymore ground. Dictators like Kibaki are so drunk with power to an extent that they do not realize their limitations. I see their limitation though. The public have had enough of this crap. If Raila hold his guns, Kibaki will soon be exiled. If Kibaki wants to be a kenyan he must act now for the einterest of Kenya just like Raila has.
