WHAT HAS RAILA BEEN UP TO? Raila Odinga’s two-month absence away in the United States, where he was on a residency programme at Boston University’s African Presidential Centre (APC), has been cause for much speculation, including of the conspiracy theory kind. The APC says it provides “an unprecedented and unique approach to studying democratisation and free market reform in Africa . . . for former democratically-elected African leaders and access to their papers, and through access to present democratically-elected leaders, the center provides a forum for them to share and a venue for others to benefit from their insights and expertise. The Center offers an exceptional opportunity to see the present phase of Africa’s development through the eyes of the ‘architects of that change.” ow.ly/xtF1G
