EXPOSED: MUDAVADI IS RAILA’S MOLE

Chama Cha Kazi’s Moses Kuria has largely kept off national politics for some strange reason, deciding to concentrate on regional politics despite having joined the Deputy President’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance.

Nevertheless, recently, he decided to touch on national politics briefly, and although it was just a short engagement, its impact shook the country. His message was simple; Uhuru should be very careful with Raila because he isn’t the old harmless fool he appears.

Once he takes power he will show his true colours. Of course, this was pure propaganda, but admittedly, it was a masterstroke. A brilliant move from a man who knows and understands how to demonise Raila in the mountain. Fear factor.

That is how it is done. However, whenever you hear Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi speak about Raila during their tours in Central Kenya, it is as if he’s campaigning for him.

Since joining forces with the Deputy President’s camp, Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi has launched a vicious onslaught against his former NASA co-principal, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. However, Mudavadi has invented a rather strange way of portraying Raila in the mountain.

Traditionally, the tried and proven way of demonising Raila within the Central Kenya area has been to portray him as a dangerous and vicious leader whose presidency will be a disastrous reality for the mountain.

However, Musalia is painting Raila as a harmless leader. Not just this. He is going ahead to argue that a win for Raila will effectively be a continuation of the status quo, with Uhuru running the show.

His adopted “Remote control” narrative explains that in the event of an Azimio La Umoja win, the current president, Uhuru Kenyatta, shall be running the show, and controlling a president Raila Odinga as if by remote control.

Whether Musalia may know this or not, what he’s basically saying is that a Raila presidency will  ensure Uthamaki still continues, and leadership remains within Mount Kenya.

What he is also saying is that Raila is not the scary and dangerous monster that he has been portrayed as since time immemorial, but rather, a clueless dotting tired politician being used as a mere piece on a chessboard.

Mudavadi’s portrayal of Raila as harmless would work better in traditional Raila strongholds such as Western and the coast, where he has achieved heroic status and is considered a warrior. In Central, the more you portray Raila as weak, the less harmful he appears, and the less charged voters are.
