Since jetting back to the country recently, Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang'i has caused a seismic impact on the country's political scene with renewed talks about his maiden stab at the presidency.
His recent triumphant tour of his Gusii backyard has evidently raised political stakes in the region, traditionally controlled by Orange Democratic Movement party leader Raila Odinga. The heroic welcome Dr Matiang'i received in his backyard is a clear sign that the region is eager to endorse his 2027 presidential bid.
