Not an ordinary storm, it will be a tempest.

Upon his return, Raila has unveiled Cord’s “wedge strategy” reminiscent of the hard-nosed wedge politics of the 2005-2007 period.

In returning to wedge politics, Raila seems to have rejected the idea of building Cord into a “royal opposition” as a government-in-waiting and offer alternative policies and visions of power within Parliament. Instead, it has embraced the idea of a “rogue opposition” challenging Jubilee power on the streets through mass protests as the surest pathway to power before or by 2017.

Cord’s new wedge politics is preying on existing tensions, divisive issues and social grievances such as national security, crime, ethnicity, poverty, corruption and the war against al-Shabaab in Somalia to galvanise support.

By returning to wedge politics, ODM hopes to reassert Raila’s intellectual and political leadership of the opposition. It also expects to split Jubilee apart, leading to a “revolution” or ensuring that Uhuru Kenyatta becomes a one-term President and winning the 2017 election.

At 72, Raila is not leaving anything to chance. In the US, he was reportedly under the tutelage of a strong team of political strategists. All senior academics who handled his programme in Boston are said to have political mobilisation, military and intelligence backgrounds.

This is giving legs to the view that in Boston, Raila was on a regime change strategy by world class experts who have helped bring down governments in other parts of the world.

all these are known, but we Kenyans are smart. it didn't work in 2012/2013 and neither will it work now.

These are the type of time wasting type of politics in expense of development that have no place in modern society
