My brief in this space is to comment on topical business and economic issues. But I would be burying my head in the sand if I didn’t say something about Mr Raila Odinga, who passed on in India last week – an event already rippling through boardrooms and markets alike.
Indeed, this is one of those rare moments when commentary in the business and economics space isn’t a digression but almost a duty – because this passing will ripple across many sectors.
