What you need to know:

  • The four played a part in the Second Liberation, fighting President Daniel arap Moi’s one-party state.
  • Prof Kibwana has bolted out of the Kalonzo Musyoka-led Wiper party, on whose ticket he won a second term as Makueni governor.

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) chief Raila Odinga yesterday hosted presidential hopefuls Mukhisa Kituyi and Kivutha Kibwana.

Details of the meeting, also attended by Siaya Senator James Orengo, remained scanty but the presence of Dr Kituyi, who last week announced his bid for the top job, and Prof Kibwana, who at some point was seen to be drifting towards DP William Ruto, was telling.
