The two stayed together until after the Handshake in 2018 when things fell apart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dynasties narrative<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ruto\u2019s allies have accused Uhuru of betrayal after the fallout and have gone ahead to coin the \u2018Hustler Nation\u2019 versus Dynasties narrative in a contest which has painted Uhuru as belonging to the latter, whose time is up.<\/p>\n<p>The entry of similar accusations by Raila\u2019s allies of a possible betrayal could easily be unsettling to Uhuru, who has shown indication that he is keen to manage his succession.<\/p>\n<p>ODM chairman John Mbadi yesterday stressed the importance of ensuring that the Handshake lives up to its expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMt Kenya will play a key role in the succession politics. But we are already immune to emotions and politics of betrayal. Uhuru needs Raila for the Handshake objectives to come true,\u201d said Mbadi.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThere should be no panic. Betrayal is part of politics and it depends on circumstances, politics and interests. The Handshake gave Uhuru the calm to rule the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stressed; \u201cFor the Handshake to succeed, it rests with the two leaders who are the owners. As stakeholders, we are only trying to make assumptions of what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He argued that Uhuru only has Ruto or Raila, who have a solid support base for negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose \u2018system\u2019 people can try whatever moves, and whatever they are trying to do is not a big deal. Raila has built his support through years of strategy while other are just starting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio admitted that the Handshake and the BBI were among the biggest headaches for the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese two mean a lot for the president; they should not be in danger in any way, otherwise all the investment into it will be in vain. That is why he (Uhuru) is reaching out to more people and expanding the handshake by bringing on board the party leaders to pass the BBI and by extension 2022 succession politics,\u201d said Poghisio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president has been forced to bend backwards literally to accommodate the party leaders for the BBI to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jubilee Deputy Secretary General Joshua Kutuny said as allies of the president they will ensure that the Handshake and the BBI are protected and guarded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not allow it to fail, we will use every means to protect it. We have listened to the concerns raised by ODM and the matters are being addressed,\u201d said Kutuny.<\/p>\n<p>But it is the entry of the \u2018sacred alliance\u2019 that seems to be part of the Handshake problem.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after the entry into the expanded handshake, Kalonzo and Mudavadi last month turned their political guns on Raila, once their National Super Alliance (NASA) partner, claiming he was \u201cincapable of keeping a vow to friends\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>President Kenyatta, caught in the bare-knuckle battles, hosted the leaders at State House two weeks ago and is reported to have urged them to focus their energies on promoting the BBI and to hold a truce.<\/p>\n<p>However, an ODM MP who sought anonymity said the party leader was a political master tactician who knew that once there was mistrust in politics, then there was no cure and therefore it was time to re-strategise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Raila) has smelled mistrust, he is weighing options on whether he needs to disown and dump the BBI process and instead begin planning on how he can revamp his party and prepare it for the 2022 General Election,\u201d said the MP.<\/p>\n<p>Pundits also weighed in and noted that Raila could be having second thoughts on BBI, or was negotiating his position on the table.<\/p>\n<p>The dilemma for Uhuru is, if Raila dumps the BBI that he has marketed with passion, then the project which pegs the hopes of leaving a united country will crumble.<\/p>\n<p>The ODM leader, who is recuperating at the Nairobi Hospital, is seen as being an integral part of the BBI, and the political threats by his allies that they could ditch the process and go back to where they were in 2017 has triggered a political debate.<\/p>\n<p>This seems to have been sensed and yesterday, Mutahi Ngunyi waded into the matter and told Raila that there was no time to waste. \u201cDear Raila Odinga, just remember that Raila Odinga belongs to the country, not to YOU. Tell him to pull himself up by the boot straps. Country is waiting. No time to get sickish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ngunyi\u2019s tweet coming from an adviser of the president is heavily loaded and could point to a desperate position the president\u2019s people may be in.<\/p>\n<p>National Assembly Minority Whip Junet Mohamed, however, said the BBI document was ODM\u2019s and they would therefore not run away from it.<\/p>\n<p>Junet, however, indicated that they had been starved of cash to popularise the document.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will fundraise if need be; we do not care if there is money for the exercise,\u201d said Junet.<\/p>\n<p>Having noted that ODM has developed cold feet towards BBI, Mudavadi\u2019s ANC in a statement said they were ready to press on with the process to the next level should Raila step aside.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Senate Minority Whip Mutula Kilonzo Jnr observed that it appeared the objective of the Handshake from the unease it has generated among its proponents was to bring unity.<\/p>\n<p>Soy MP Caleb Kositany, a Ruto ally, said when one practices politics of betrayal when interacting with people who stood with them at their hour of need, then they lose trust in you.<\/p>\n<p>Homa Bay MP Peter Kaluma accused persons in the Office of the President of trying to use the provincial administration to hijack the BBI process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: The emergence of cracks in the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga may force the former to rethink his political strategy, 16 months to the end of his tenure.
