The issue of unruly supporters is one that Raila must deal with.
It is not lost on us that he was involved in the '82 coup. Later, his boys were engaged in armed fights with Wamalwa supporters and Orengo supporters. Heck, the boys even used to carry axes!
In the run up to '07 polls, some of his guys had become terribly arrogant,believing that he was going to deliver for them a socialist state where all would be equal and things(rent, fare etc) would be free! He was also expected to protect them when they took over 'their' properties from some 'favoured' community!
I am impressed he came out against the attacks-though too feebly, like he's been forced to do it for political expediency.
Now if I were him, I would do tours all over Nyanza urging peace and tolerance. This way I would be assured of a clean image and improved ratings!
But maybe that's why I am not a politician!
