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.

SIASA DUNI EXCLUSIVE: NSIS Leak - Kibaki was FORCED and rushed into a swearing ceremony by Mount Kenya MAFIA in a meeting chaired by Michuki

After a long and contemplative pull on the tobacco roll, Michuki said they should leave everything to him.

A mobile call (with the caller identity withheld) was then made to one Samwel Kivuitu, informing him that wazee wa nchi (elders of the nation) had decided that he should promptly announce Kibaki the winner or else leave Kenya with immediate effect. For his "small" part, he was offered Kshs. 242 million (US$3.8 million), which he accepted, and the post of Kenyan ambassadeur to Botswana, affective March 2008, which he also accepted.

Now we all know why he did it.
