...By walking away, Mr Odinga seems to be gambling on his ability to threaten chaos to push Mr Kenyatta to negotiate. But the trouble with that strategy is that Mr Odinga is running out of money. And although protests occasionally gum up the centre of Nairobi, even his most partisan supporters will not stay on the streets indefinitely. The worst outcome, for Mr Odinga and Kenya, is that his bluff is called and the election goes ahead without him. Mr Kenyatta might remain president, but a large proportion of the population would not recognise his right to rule and would feel left out of the political system...

Ouruto spends so much money on lobbyists in the UK and the US who plant stories in major publications for them.  The NYT learned the hard way until they had to give a retraction. I am sure they learned their lesson and will no wait a little longer to get the whole story and do some of their own investigations before they publish jubilee propaganda.
