The Legacy of Fear: How the Shadow of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Shaped Kenya's Political Landscape In the annals of Kenya's political history, the events of 1969 stand out as a defining moment marked by fear, coercion, and manipulation. The political tension surrounding Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's candidature led to a series of oath-taking ceremonies in Gatundu that forever altered the fabric of Kenyan society. Understanding this historical context is crucial, especially when contemporary politicians attempt to invoke these dark chapters for political gain. The Fear of Jaramogi and the Birth of the Gatundu Oath The roots of the infamous Gatundu oath can be traced back to the fear and propaganda surrounding Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the former vice-president and then-leader of the opposition. By 1969, the political landscape in Kenya was charged with tension. The assassination of Cabinet Minister Tom Mboya on 5th July 1969 had already set a volatile backdrop. Within this context, Pr...

Raila Odinga is not a team player!

THE SINS OF RAILA

1. RAILA IS NOT A TEAM PLAYER
Fact: The Moi team players were very successful (Moi team players = Goldenberg)

The Kibaki team players have been mildly successful (Kibaki team players = Anglo Leasing)

If team playing is Goldenberg or Anglo Leasing, then we need a presidential candidate who is not a team player.

The "NO!" referendum campaign led by Raila Odinga was a manifestation of the greatest team play in Kenya history. Who is not a team player?


2. RAILA'S ADVENTURES LED TO INNOCENT DEATHS IN 1982
Fact: The 1982 coup attempt was crushed. The 1952 Mau Mau insurrection was crushed. But the two events, though they led to the loss of many innocent lives led to a great dawn. August 1, 1982 should be looked at not as a ONE DAY aberration, but as a defining moment when arms were raised against the rape of a nation. It is time we stood proud and honoured the fallen heroes of 1982. The real villain was Moi and his "team".


3. RAILA CALLS EVERY SMALL INVESTOR A DRUG DEALER
Fact: The Arturs are neither small, nor investors. The Arturs are thugs. The Arturs are con-men. The Arturs are mercenaries. It is a crime to even think of whitewashing the shame that is the Arturs. Let's identify these "small investors" by their true label.

4. RAILA IS A BRASH IMPATIENT MAN
Fact: Every real Kenyan is impatient, quick & decisive. That is why foreign companies prefer employing Kenyans in their subsidiary companies in Uganda , Tanzania , etc. We don't want a leader who sleeps even while "his wife romps at night, trading punches with journalists in the newsrooms."

5. RAILA WILL LEAD KENYA INTO A RWANDA AND A CONGO
Fact: The Mt. Kenya's Mungiki, Nyachae's Red Shukas, etc. - this is the kind of stuff that leads to a Rwanda or a Congo. Raila has a national following. He does not need a militia. And Kenyans are too wise to allow their country to degenerate into anarchy.


LEST WE FORGET...
Section 2A, the constitutional amendment that made Kenya a "legal" one party dictatorship was passed in 1982.
Charles Njonjo proposed it in Parliament.
Mwai Kibaki seconded the infamous motion.
