President Raila Odinga as the Commander in Chief, should first and foremost respect Kenya's Armed Forces. Women and men who've sacrificed so much for Kenya's freedom.
Miguna, as the president's confidant shouldn't be pretending to be a General. He doesn't hold a military rank. He can join the Army and make his way up - experience of at least 20 years.
Respect, courage, truth, honour, these are characteristics that should be characterising Raila's presidency to win the hearts and minds of Kenya's service women and men. The judiciary is with President Odinga, the Armed Forces are currently not.
