Before former Vice President,Kijana Wamalwa, gave up the ghost,he said some interesting facts about Raila Odinga.In one of his brilliant speeches,Wamalwa said this:
“On intelligence -‘Raila is not my peer intellectually by any description. If Raila was a man of any abilities as the son of Kenya’s first Vice-President in the early 1960s when scholarships to the top universities in the world were open to the sons of African leaders at their taking, he wouldn’t have gone over land to Cairo to get on to some ramshackle boat to go to East Germany. I think this is a reflection of his abilities
‘On his capability as a leader: ‘I don’t think he has any leadership capabilities because he is a very dictatorial fellow. Whenever he talks in NEC meetings, he always says ‘we must do this ‘and people answer back ‘you can’t force us to do this’
On his support and followers: ‘That’s a myth. What Raila has is a private militia of unemployed youth who he pays money to cheer him wherever he goes’”
