Riggy G's traps fail to stop Tinga, most likely due to a manufacturer's defect

Were it not for the tragic consequences, including deaths of some 50 young Kenyans felled by police bullets in recent protests, the “merger” of the opposition ODM and the Kenya Kwanza government, is comic.
It was such a precise outcome that Deputy Prezzo Rigathi Gachagua aka Riggy G swore by the gods of Kirinyaga (and all the deities that inhabit our wide world) would never happen because, he outlined, the Kenya Kwanza government is run as a corporate, with most dividends spared for top shareholders.
Consequently, Riggy G gloated, there was no fat chance for the opposition leader Raila Odinga aka Baba to negotiate power or access levers of privilege, as he had done in the past. Riggy G said he would personally ensure that, as he had laid traps wherever Tinga walked.
It seems Riggy G’s traps did not extend far enough; Tinga was out in Dubai when his lieutenants were appointed to the Cabinet this week.

I have no idea if youth protesters listed power-sharing among their raft of demands, but some chaps were captured on TV stating they would keep off the streets as they were happy with this development.
Riggy G is yet to pronounce himself on the matter, but I suspect he has a perfect explanation to give. It could be that Kenya Kwanza Inc has undergone a hostile takeover, but he wisely offloaded his stake before the meltdown.
Or it could be that his traps did not work well due to a manufacturer’s defect and he’s busy chasing a replacement or compensation.
