News have emerged that President Kenyatta his deputy Ruto and Raila had a written script on how to isolate Kalonzo,Mudavadi and Wetangula.The script was written even before the January 30 swearing in of Raila.
Few days before Raila’s swearing in,the former Prime Minister had met DP Ruto and the President.In a closed door meeting,the two told Raila that for him to benefit from the government,he has to drop his co-principals.Ruto argued that with the emerging of Alfred Mutua ,Kalonzo’s political capital in Eastern Kenya is dwindling.He also added that the bad blood between Muthama and Kalonzo has heavily weakened the former Vice President.
Uhuru on the other hand observed that Mudavadi and Wetangula don’t add value to Raila’s political capital.He argued that even in 2013 Raila received more votes than Mudavadi in Western Kenya,implying that even if Wetangula is dropped,Raila won’t be affected.
The problem was how to isolate them.Raila suggested that since the three are cowards,they should be told to swear alongside the former Prime Minister.Being lawyers,Kalonzo and Wetangula observed that it would amount to treason.Mudavadi chickened out,as usual.
After the meeting( between Uhuru,Ruto and Raila),Raila drafted the swearing in oath.The original oath was so treason driven that when Kalonzo and Mudavadi read it,they said “NO”…they started shaking.A week later,Raila told TJ Kajawang and Miguna to edit the oath so that instead of reading ,”The President of Kenya”,it should read,”The People’s President”….the oath became useless.This second oath was not in possession of Wetangula,Mudavadi and Kalonzo.
On January 28,2018,Raila called the three principals and told them to prepare for the oath.From then,they started playing hide and sick game. Knowing well he had duped them, he proceeded to take the oath.Interestingly,the state was aware what was going on,which was why even the police were withdrawn from Uhuru Park.
If Kalonzo,Mudavadi and Wtangula had taken oath,Raila could have been beaten in his own game.But the three sheepishly chickened out.End game,Raila will become the Prime Minister as his three co-principals watch him on TV.
