Jubilee Should Spare us this Sick Raila Age Debate and Deliver on its Mandate

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria was elected at 72, Ghanaian president-elect Nana Akufo-Addo has been elected at 71. Still some people are busy roaming around here campaigning on the ground that Odinga is too old and should retire. I mean how wrong can they be? The old man is 71 and his age mates are becoming presidents even in the US! Old people are beating younger incumbents in Africa. Instead of telling us all the bad things about Raila Odinga and how tired and old he is, Uhuruto should simply work. Salvage health situation, tackle runway corruption, deal with youth unemployment, fix governance issues, fix wastage in government, ensure rule of law prevails and deal with ongoing violations of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms, reform education system, address informal (jua kali) sector issues, end hunger and starvation, fix the infrastructure, enhance agriculture and value addition, clean our cities, create an enabling environment for industrial and manufacturing and businesses to emerge and thrive etc etc. I mean government should realize that it has too much to do. Instead of all these, we have a government that is too preoccupied and obsessed with Raila, I mean how often does Uhuru and Ruto mention the word Raila in their meetings?
