If Raila picks Karua, Ruto's best option will be Waiguru

Today, I’m compelled to offer a clichéd political deuteronomion concerning Martha Karua because this column saw her star when it seemed impossible that she could be a participant in the coming elections. And with her star rising, she’s pulling her sibling opponent in Kirinyaga, Anne Waiguru.

The way things are going, if Raila Odinga settles for Karua as his running mate, which is most likely, he will send William Ruto back to the drawing board. And if Ruto fails to read the signs of the times, he will scatter because politics is not a respecter of PhD! And since I don’t think Ruto can be that less smart, immediately Raila moves Karua as his pawn, Ruto will hasten his hand toward Waiguru.
