  1. I agree with Hon Sankok on the great skills at which Rt Hon Raila Odinga has resolved conflict in this country and part of Africa’s countries, on the resilience of Hon Odinga and the inborn diplomatic nature of Mweshimiwa Raila, but on the longest serving President? No no no, this may sound sweet hear and a statement to please either Hon Amolo or Luos but it’s a misleading statement and may aim at diverting our focus to give Hon Raila his own opportunity to lead this country, i want to remind Sankok that i know with the support of the Kenyan Government Hon Raila Odinga will secure AUC and after that we will review our quest to make Hon Raila the substantive President of Kenya .
