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.

They ask to be driven home on a Police patrol car?” Nsubuga warned that such characters would be arrested.

He appealed to the public to call the Police on 0414256366, for quick response in case of emergency.
