Sometimes I get the feeling there are people within the police force on Raila's payroll. If they had completely ignored the homecoming, NASA would have found it difficult to mobilize even 1000 guys at the airport.
After the police decided to ban the homecoming, the exact opposite happened. There are guys who didn't sleep yesterday. Make no mistake, they don't do it because they love Baba so much. But because they thrive in chaos.
Those who watched the video clip of the chaos along southern bypass Jana must have noticed that the guys were targeting trucks for looting. A small group of about 30 crooks.
The men who sit in the security council and the guys at the NIS are some of the brightest strategists money can buy. I doubt any of them would see the benefit of "banning" the homecoming trip.
For now let's sit and watch a non-event become the top news in the country. And with the chaos, the crooks will have a field day.
Some people would also want NRM to be seen as violent, thugs, goons, not ready to abide by the constitution and the law...and people who are just ready destroy other people's property....so that after the supreme court case is over and if Uhuru is sworn in, the government can deal with NRM as such. I had not looked at it that way. And it now makes a lot of sense.
WSR needs RAO on the ballot come 2022. The brutal tactics will continue, its bait, and RAO will fall for it cause he
loves the idea of appearing a hero or persecuted.
It is difficult to ride a wave of anger into power. Obama never sold himself as an angry black man, chip-on-shoulder,
owed and historically maligned by white people. The moment you have an extremely angry and violent constituency backing you, that's the moment you lose the moderates.
The moderates, for whatever reasons or beliefs, marshal their silent power and stop you from ascending to power.
