Has anyone noticed how the sunken eyes of the nation have turned to former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Okeng'o Matiang'i?
In fact, the interest around him in the last four months surpasses the attention former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has enjoyed since becoming the 'de facto' Opposition leader.
A heartened Dr Matiang'i is now firing on all cylinders.
The man from Nyamira wants to team up with Mr Gachagua and others in a surprise opposition coalition to dethrone President William Ruto.
