''When the time is right, I the Lord will make it happen'' for so its written in the book of Isaiah 60:22. To those of you who have been asking why your anticipations have failed to materialize, hold your horse, be patient for when the right time comes, everything will fall to its place.

The rumoured Ruto-Raila coalition set tongues wagging but leaders allied to the DP have come out disputing such a possibility. Tanga Tanga lieutenants have affirmed that ODM chief is ideologically immiscible with their boss, so? Kila mtu apambane na hali yake.

How can Ruto's allies turn out to be so mean and impractical when they know that Raila will be a worth stone on their sling? Don't they know Agwambo is a man of a midas touch? How comes Raila and his cronies don't want to court Samoei when they know that anything is prone to happen from their Mt Kenya in-laws?

As Isaiah put it, the primary reason why Jakom and William have not met nor devised a work plan is because the time is not yet ripe, and when the right time comes, the Lord will make it happen.

Let it be remembered that Jaramogi's son has a task at hand; that of popularizing Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). And since Kenyans haven't assented nor dissented the report, Raila is limited to options but this will not be the case should the plebiscite process come to pass.

The aftermath of BBI will help Baba to chant his course. Ruto is perceived as a silent member of a No-camp and should the process fail, William's camp will take the credit and for Raila, writings on the wall will be crystal clear, 'change your ways and join the winning camp'.

Let it remembered that the cord enjoining UhuRaila is the Handshake and BBI, now, you tell me, what will happen when their 'child' dies, will their marriage stand, definitely not. 

Uhuru who is devising a formula to stop his deputy from succeeding him is relying on Agwambo as his mercenary but if the very operative fails in BBI mission, will he still have trust? If there is a time Raila and Ruto can reunite, easily and rapidly is during post-BBI period.
