Treating @RailaOdinga well should not be about legalisms,it should be out of civility. @UKenyatta鈥檚 is a powerful presidency and VIP lounges aren鈥檛 things he and Raila should fight over. It also doesn鈥檛 augur well for him to stand aside and see the embers of rivalry between his father and Raila鈥檚 rekindled, alongside the attendant bad feelings. Also, it is not in the interest of national reconciliation, which Uhuru promised, to treat Raila the way he has been lately.Intelligence chiefs must have told him, it is in the interest of national security and directly his own, to ensure Raila鈥檚 security is uncompromised. Why? If he drops dead, even out of heart attack, you know where the fingers of culpability will point. Finally, Raila gave Kenya so much, including nine years in detention, and surely even Uhuru and Ruto can鈥檛 argue against that, and therefore, it is gentlemanly to treat him different, say from you and me. In any case, Uhuru and Ruto will soon be canvassing for votes from every Kenyan voter, including those who voted Raila! In short we need no laws to treat Raila and others who have helped change Kenya differently, and with respect and decorum. We just need to be civil. - Kipkoech Tanui.
