Why would they sign a coalition with KANU and Wiper - when ODM was enough. This is Moi 2002 redux. Raila is being played. The sooner he realizes the better for him. If somebody fears Ruto - that person is terrified of Raila.
I think game here is to try get GEMA - and go for it - after splitting the field - Pajero theory might be right. I really doubt they can trust Gideon (not sellable) or Kalonzo.
So it's could end up with statehouse GEMA+Matiangi - and they will hope to get at least 35% of the vote.
Also if GEMA mashinani refuses to board - they are going to run back to Ruto and make a deal. That is why ODM are suprised that Jubilee is retaining Ruto allies in the committee. They don't want to shut the door because they know if GEMA doesn't buy into their schemes...then Ruto would be unbeatable.
Ooh now murathe has little say while you were busy praising him as Uhurus mr. Fix it. Do you want us to dig history of your yapping?
Murathe is used by Uhuru as a barking dog to test the waters. Mtajua hamjui if i was raira i would demand gatheca tosha me now. Take it to the bank GEMA elite will never back rao for PORK
