RAILA THE "MECHANIC"
What do you do when your car breaks down in the middle of the journey ?
You find a good mechanic to fix and service it again for a smooth trip.
There are people who have expertise in repairs of various problems and most of the time we call them "engineers".
In Kenyan politics, we have the Mr Fixer who is called upon each time the government has a problem and needs to be fixed. This Mr Fixer is alleged to be an an engineer from a German school.
The Fixer is Raila Odinga. He has been applying his knowledge obtained from school to fix a different kind of "engine" or lets say governments for quite some time now.
When Kibaki had problems in dealing with Moi in 2002, he sought the help of this man Tinga who fixed some areas that needed tightening. When the election results were announced, NARC led by Kibaki won and formed the government.
In 2008 , once again Kibaki who had been re-elected by the "Tharaka Nithi" republic had nowhere to go to except to look for Engineer Tinga Wuod Mary. Together they formed a coalition government.
Even the fourth president needed Tinga to fix "corrupt" leaders and apply mwosho Mmoja where the corrupt were cleaned eg the likes of Anne Waiguru of NYS.
Now we are in 2024 and once again, Ruto has invited him to help fix the government. We except a few heads to roll and leaves to fall when Agwambo shakes the tree called gafment.
The only problem with Mr Fixer is that he never replaces the spoiled parts with new ones instead, he runs a big hardware called "ODM" where he gets spare parts to replace the previous ones.
Though the problem might look like it has been fixed, it's only for a short time.
