Raila's battles are with tribal leaders

The letter in yesterday’s issue of The Standard, Rift in ODM may swallow up Raila, calls for a rejoinder.

The battle Prime Minister Raila Odinga faces in ODM is between perpetuation of impunity, corruption, tribalism and cheap politics on the one hand and the need to shove Kenya to the next level as far as positive change is concerned.

Raila’s political exodus has always been guided by the desire to bring change and create democratic space. The major undoing of our politicians is that they always view every issue under the myopic lens of political expediency and tribal inclination.
