saitoti was to chair the committee that was to decide whether UK and Bill Rooto can run for the presidency 2012...seems their fate is sealed if Saitoti has his way

RAO talked about the tying of a certain Kengele on a Cat!
i see a runoff ensuing - first round everyone throws in their hats and top 2 are picked. if Bill and Uhuru are not in the race, then I foresee
Kalonzo being either first or second in the race with RAO but none will get the 50% + 1.

@b.timer... what if they don't? they back somebody else instead?

@ BTimer,

The anti-Odinga group has to be very careful.

Steve could be good since though he has no major constituency currently(I don't find his tribe enthusiastic about him), his people would troop to his side if they realised he was headed for a win.

But Steve has a heavily maligned name. Although most attacks on him are baseless, they spread faster than attacks on any other politician.

Also, politics, like religion, is about hope. Steve doesn't make one want to look forward to his Presidency in anticipation. He is closer to Mudavadi and Saitoti in nature. The only way is for this group to make it a heavily tribal anti-Odinga campaign.

I have realised that the most vocal people never go far in Kenyan politics. Matiba played hard ball and got fanatical followers, he never savoured the fruits. Orengo and Jaramogi too tried but never made it. On the other hand, softies like Moi and Kibaki made it to the peak.

Could this be the end for Raila?

I was thinking PNU would pick Tuju. But Raila would then have a chance of upsetting them by reconciling with Steve and sweeping the disgruntled Kao vote.

So maybe Baba Muasya, who is hated more than he is loved may just end up leading us. I have heard more people than I can count from many tribes swear they can't vote for him.

Already it's clear from body language that UK and WSR do not trust Stevo, if the two are blocked from vying then Saitoti cannot be discounted!!!!
