If you are the impatient type, or unaware of the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s negotiation style, then you are in for a major political heartache. Kalonzo never comes easy, and when he finally does, he is the last man to get on board.  

It is neither easy to cajole nor compel the seasoned politician, who has over the years distinguished himself as a chief negotiator, mediator and deal-breaker in the region, to hurriedly embrace a political pact. This is a reality that restless Dagorreti North MP Simba Arati and former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth, who have been hitting out at the former Vice President in rallies for “delaying the Azimio La Umoja train” will soon come to terms with.
