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.

The fall of the giants as rejection of PNU is complete

A clear trend is beginning to emerge as rejection of Kibaki and PNU comes full circle. Here are the latest casualties never to see the 10th Parliament:

1. Njenga Karume
2. Nicholas Biwott
3. Gideon Moi
4. Mukhisa Kituyi
5. Moody Awori
6. George Saitoti
7. Someon Nyachae
8. Musikari Kombo
9. Mutahi Kagwe

Congratulations to the Kalenjin community, specifically the good people of Baringo Central, for firmly and finally ignoring old Moi's pleas and for placing the dirty rag on his lap by voting out his "only begotten son", Gideon. This is the biggest slap Moi has recieved, ever since Mama Lena refused to close dance with Kenyatta at some state function many, many, many years ago; an act which cost her the prestigious title of "second Lady" and forever consigned her to the periphery of the Moi dynsaty. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the long awaited "adieu" to Kenyan dynasties.

It is now apparent that PNU will have a severe drought of MPs in the 10th Parliament as they have so far not bagged even one. The clear leader in Central is Safina with one MP, while ODM has managed 18 countrywide. It would seem Kibaki is poised to once again reclaim his throne (and more familiar role) as the Leader of Official Opposition.
