Fidel, in my view, could not have replaced his father. Fidel was not a politician of Raila’s stature. He was to his father what Jimmy Kibaki is to Mwai Kibaki – just a wealthy son. These were two very different people, whose lives appealed to two very different constituencies, and for Fidel, sadly, it was that overrated constituency of tribless kenya – those folks who never vote, who fear election periods in Kenya, and often have an air ticket ready, just in case shit happens. For Luos, if anyone waited for Fidel to take over, such human beings are lucky he passed away sooner, for they would have been deeply disappointed later. There comes a time when a horse sires a mule. While Odinga is a real horse, his son Fidel was a mule. Let’s put Fidel to where he belonged and stop cheating history.
