In my career as a journalist, I have had four one-on-one interactions with Mr Odinga. Surprisingly, Mr Odinga had no grudge against Mr Matiba, who he alternatively kept referring to as “my comrade” and “my brother”. Mr Odinga had thrown his weight behind Mr Wamalwa — but they would also fall out later. His party, the National Development Party (NDP), had started a serious dalliance with the ruling party Kanu. This time round, Mr Odinga was at his patriotic best, giving an objective analysis of where Jubilee had got it wrong.
