The media can hear whatever it wants.

This guy has Jubilee folks getting premature ejaculations.

So, Batman has never told a falsehood his whole political career?

Face it, Weta will always say what's in his personal interest to say.

The part about not having said what he said is crap. He said it.

However the media exaggerated and he did nothing to set the record straight. He is a lawyer so we know he played with words knowing that others will misunderstand him. So fudging was the intention.

Is he going to cross to Jubilee. I doubt it but who knows. Why?
1.a  He made enough from betraying ODM in 2007 - even stealing an ODM seat
2. b. He made enough from Turkan Oil and will continue to as a shareholder having taken part of his payment for the block in stocks. So he is financially stable and Jubilee would have to cough blood to get him - not that it is impossible.
3. Post Shikuku Ugali Western is a dangerous place to play traitor politics. Here are examples
i. Khalwale had his car burnt to ashes and has since learned to respect wanainchi
ii. Health Minister Minister the Late Kulundu was unable to call a single public rally in his constituency because of his support for Kibaki
iii. Mudavadi lost badly to Akaranga and has never recovered. Nobody trusts him not to sell people to the highest bidder

That said Wetangula had to say something to counter ODM. What I don't understand is why he did not arrange his own rallies in Vihiga, Busia, Kakamega and Bungoma. The more the merrier

So, Batman has never told a falsehood his whole political career?

Face it, Weta will always say what's in his personal interest to say.

Simanova:

There are a couple of things the CORD 3 should have done ages ago:

(1) Agree on how their presidential candidate would be selected and when (preferably early).
(2) Make that information public.

It is still not too late to do all that, and it would be better than the absurdity of each of the three aiming for the position and calling on the other two---their competitors!---to support them in that quest.

Cord is made up of 3 allies, they have some common interests and some individual interests, make no mistake, allies are not friends
Common interest: they want to see Jubilee out in 2017
Individual Interest: if they fail in 2017, neither wants the others as strong cometitor candidates in 2022
At some point calculations will be done on the probabilities of winning 2017 vs 2022, and moves will be made to further personal interests first, and cord interests second if the two match

This should not be a difficult decision. Ouru and Raila are set for a rematch.  Weta or Stevo should wait for 2022 when there is no incumbent president running. They should be glad that Raila is willing to take on ouru who has all the trappings of an incumbent.  Raila is set to run in 2017 and cannot abort right now.  I do not know about Kalonzo but  Weta is not ready yet, he needs resources and a solid base of support. Right now he should support Raila and cash in later the way many have done.  Resources and political support from ones base are not easily transferable.

Wetangula would lose to Raila in Bungoma.  The concept of the Luhya block being under the control of one of the jokers masquerading as the local leaders is overplayed.  In the 90's this might have been different.  In 2016, people on the ground know there is one guy with potential to change the status quo.  They have, or ought to have, seen too many permutations of how "our man can benefit" to get an erection from another local jumping into a lost cause.
