Raila chose to wail! And so uncontrollably - all in desperation to become President. Quote:“Eeeeh...eehhhh..eiiii...Please save me from Kibaki! Eeeeeh..eiiiii...Please don’t let mego back to that man...I don’t want to go back to Kibaki! Eeeeh...eiii...Please save mefrom Kibaki!” Raila broke down and cried, torrents of tears flowing freely down hischeeks. He was shaking uncontrollably.It was about 3:30pm on April 6, 2008. Everyone in the room was stunned. They hadnever seen Raila cry before. We looked at each other, unable to move. No one wasprepared for this heart-wrenching scene. I guess we had assumed that Raila was‘superhuman’. He had a larger-than-life image in the consciousness of Kenyans...Butthere he was, someone we all held in awe, wailing uncontrollably in front of everyone...Raila had just returned from a face-to-face meeting with Kibaki over the

formation of the grand coalition government following the signing of the nationalaccord and reconciliation agreement on February 28, 2008. By then he had attendednumerous meetings and most had ended in stalemate or Raila’s capitulation. Raila’sdebriefs...had become
"
a routine in itself, with him repeating “Kibaki can’t accept this”or “Kibaki is insisting on that”.
"
Raila was not only crying; he was also sweating profusely.”
