Upon his return, Raila Odinga has unveiled Cords wedge strategy reminiscent of the hard-nosed wedge politics of the 2005-2007 period. In returning to wedge politics, Raila seems to have rejected the idea of building Cord into a royal opposition as a government-in-waiting and offer alternative policies and visions of power within parliament. Instead it has embraced the idea of a rogue opposition challenging Jubilee power on the streets as the surest pathway to power before or by 2007. At 73, Raila is not leaving any thing to chance. In the US, he was reportedly under the tutelage of a strong team of political strategists. All senior academics who handled his programme in Boston are said to have political mobilization, military and intelligence backgrounds. This is giving legs to the view that in Boston, Raila was on a regime change strategy by world class experts who have helped bring down governments in other parts of the world - Peter Kagwanja
