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.

KENYA'S NEW LOOK CABINET - (THE LEAKED VERSION)

1. President - Emillio Mwai wa Kibaki

2. Prime Minister - Eng. Raila Amollo Odinga

37. Minister For East African Community - Mutula Kilonzo

38. Minister For Public Service - Sally Kosgey

39. Attorney General - Amos Wako

40. Head Of Public Prosecutions - Paul Muite

41. Secretary To The Cabinet And Head Of Civil Service - Prof. Wangari Maathai

Now we all know why Amb. Francis Muthaura was beating his gums last week; he must have got wind of his impending doom, and was exhibiting the kicks of a dying horse. Moving swiftly onwards, this list looks pretty impressive at first glance. But a close look reveals the culprits we would rather do without, chief among them Kiraitu "You can't rape a willing woman" Muringi, Chirau "I was looking for your mother on Koinange Street" Mwakwere and Amos "Smiling" Wako.

We welcome, however, the inclusion of some fresh faces: James Orengo, Mutula Kilonzo, Sally Kosgey and newcomer Alfred Khangati. All in all, I think the job fits the man... in some cases, the woman. Sasa kazi ianze!

how is that a dream team? thats an old boys clique. A country the size of Texas requires 38 ministries. What kind of nonsense is this. Cut it down to 15, 2 from each province. and tell Kenyans that the government positions are not tribal positions but rather national positions. Have the 15 ministries put in the constitution and make it require 2/3 to change it, and let work be performed. Now what is a Minister for Fisheries doing everyday at work? observing fish? and a Minister for Livestock? watching cows? Get a whole Agriculture department and give it to one clown
