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.

So I decided to investigate and find out exactly where our Lady of the Spank is.

You see, I know people who know people who hear things. Before very long, I got a lead. Apparently, Lucy is holed up in State House and is having her teeth done. Now, whether the teeth were misplaced during that confrontation with Imanyara or whether she is growing old and her teeth are falling out is yet to be confirmed.

Woowee, folks! Apparently this post touched a LOT of raw nerves, and I've been called all sorts of things for expressing my opinion. For that, it gets to be the top post for another week! I'll just sample one comment which I think speaks for the rest. Word of advice: if you don't like Siasa Duni, or find the content unacceptable to you, there are plenty other blogs to choose from; go there! Ha ha ha ha...

And now I quote my semi-literate commentator (SIC):

"FOE SOMEONE TO PICK ON A WOMAN, YOU MUST BE A COWARD AND A DISGRACE TO YOUR MOTHER. SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR POSTS WHICH JUST SHOWS HOW BACKWARD YOUU ARE. BY THE WAY IF YOU HAVE NOT NOTICED,AS YOU CONTINUE YOUR ODM ANTIQUES, THE US IS WARMING UP TO RAILA AND IF YOU HAD A KINDERGATEN BRAIN YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS"
