Mr Odinga got bragging rights from the Kibra result but it was hardly magnanimity in victory. EERY PASTAnd from DP Ruto, it was not graciousness in defeat but a churlish concession that attempted to project the loss as a victory. Mr Kenyatta and DP Ruto, then leading opposite sides on the conflagration, were hauled before the International Criminal Court (ICC) to answer charges of crimes against humanity. The idea then was to secure Mr Moi’s Rift Valley “bedroom” from new-fangled ideas such as democracy, human rights and the freedom of political participation. It is, thus, quite rich of Mr Moi’s political heir Ruto to cry foul when the tactics that he endorsed are used against him.
