On November 4 last year, I wrote in these pages that the decision to jettison then Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from the second most powerful office in the land would change Kenya’s political dynamics forever. Back then, the matter was fresh and undergoing litigation in the courts.

Today, in virtually all pro-establishment rallies, attacking the former DP is now the done thing. And it is very interesting that these seemingly well-coordinated verbal attacks do more to popularise the former DP than to demonise him.
