.... The messenger, a senior official in one of the country’s security agency was sent to Raila with one message: how he would safeguard the interest of Kibaki’s associates. He also disclosed to Raila that he had won and preparations for handing over were in the works.
Dada Nereah,
This is unsettling dossier, if factual. But why has it never been told?
As Raila claimed that the presidency was stolen from him, why did he not state that at some point Kibaki was ready to concede to him? Why didn't he ever tell the public about this "protection" business? Why did it take so long for something so significant to come out? Might someone be recreating history?
Mank and Nereah,
A source close to the PM tells me there was no such offer to concede and neither was there any discussion about safeguarding the interests of Kibaki associates.
Quite the contrary, my source tells me, there was a concerted effort among some of the monied to pressure Kibaki to concede but all fell on deaf ears--literally; their calls were put on mute and ultimately hanged up without a word.
