They say Raila has been a fierce critic of the SGR and are wondering what changed along the way. It is worth noting that Raila was part of the team that conceived the idea of SGR during his tenure as Prime Minister.

Before the trip to China, Raila and Uhuru must have discussed how the loan would be secured.
