In Western countries, it is fashionable for retired politicians to release autobiographies, or memoirs, after their time in office. Many of them have juicy details of the inner corridors of power. With Raila Odinga's memoirs, Walk to freedom, will we witness the same revelations. In the past memoirs and autobiographies form the political elite have largely been a dress up. Simeon Nyachae, Njenga Karume, Kalonzo Musyoka and
Musalia Mudavadi have all released autobiographies and memoirs which did not reveal much beyond what the public already knew.Will we know the power behind the struggles of Raila and Kibaki, or the supposed blocking of Raila by Kibaki's kitchen cabinet? What really happened in the 2007 Presidential election?
