When someone wants to dismiss facts or cover the truth, he summons excuses that its politics. Politics are supposed to be progressive, not destructive. So, irresponsible behavior by a politician is not politics.
More Snippets
The shadowy figures behind the 1982 attempted putsch remained anonymous until 2006. Safe
in the knowledge that the statute of limitations (the period within which a suspect can be tried for his crimes) had expired, Odinga released his official biography aptly titled Raila Odinga: An Enigma in Kenyan Politics.
In it, Raila openly declares to Babafemi Badejo, the author, that he was the chief architect and financier of the attempted coup. By his own admission Raila is therefore vicariously and directly liable for the death of thousands of Kenyans in that failed putsch. He shows no contrition about it but instead boasts with pride.

A signs of Immaturity
Now isn't this a sign that Kenyans have all along been taken for a ride? If he did that in 1982, what would have stopped him from doing the same in 2007? He has no value for human life when it comes to getting into power.
By inference, the man is all that Mr Phantom is not: an untrustworthy radical, divisive, too many enemies, a dictator, and a persistent liar...Gaitho dialogues.
