For the cause of freedom, Raila Odinga stood tall. In his bravery, he gave his all. Yet death, ever cruel, denied him the chance to settle all the political debts he carried, especially the political debt owed to Kalonzo Musyoka, who had stood with him since 2013.
Baba departed last week and took with him Kalonzo's debt to the Sheol. But in his absence, William Ruto remains holding the political 'will' to settle the debt. It is in this spirit that we call upon Kalonzo to meet Ruto 'behind the tent' in pursuit of that political settlement.
In the Bible, the prophet Elijah, nearing the end of his ministry, was followed by a young man named Elisha. At one moment, Elisha said to Elijah, "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit." Elijah replied, "You have asked a difficult thing but if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours; otherwise, it will not."
