Raila leads a pseudo resistance. His work is to distract from true resistance. The good thing about this story is that all parties involved have shown their true colors.
Let all go back to their jobs in peace (peace being measured by the success of resistance).
At least we have some closure.
I hope there will be closure for you, although I really doubt it.
In fact the lack of closure in situations like this is good in that it pushes us always to search for 'better' - never mind that this destination 'better' is unlikely to ever be reached.
For me I prefer to view this mess from a perspective of 10,000 feet up, not eyeball to eyeball, being the only method I have found to break the lock of illusion that such dramas as this one tends to generate.
For instance:
(i) RAO's blinding ego is a major handicap for a leader, but the consequences of his likely humiliation again is that we stop deifying him. He's just human
(ii) Similarly the current deification of Uhuruto, especially by their supporters, the high expectations raised by reckless promises, will lead to bitter disappointment in Kenyans and very soon.
This is all good if it leads us to appreciate that our leaders are not miracle workers. We are responsible for the reality we create and while blaming someone else for our pain may feel good, it amounts to merely postponing the inevitable.
