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. By 1969, the political landscape in Kenya was charged with tension. The assassination of Cabinet Minister Tom Mboya on 5th July 1969 had already set a volatile backdrop. Within this context, Pr

Hilary Clinton: now accepting hand-outs


















In a show of integrity and good faith, Barack Obama is attempting to help Hillary Clinton crawl her way out of the hole that she foolishly dug herself into.

Sen. Barack Obama has asked top contributors to help former rival Sen. Hillary Clinton retire the debt from her failed presidential campaign, an Obama campaign source said. Obama and Clinton ran a protracted race for the Democratic presidential nomination that left Clinton with a campaign debt of more than $22 million when she bowed out this month. About $12 million of that amount is money the senator from New York loaned to the campaign herself.

Obama asked members of his National Finance Committee to contribute to Clinton's campaign if they were so inclined, but he did not direct them to do so, the Obama campaign source said Tuesday. Individual donors can contribute $2,300 to individual candidates. It would take 4,500 contributors donating the maximum $2,300 to pay off Clinton's $10.3 million in debt owed to vendors. Some of Clinton's biggest debts include $4.6 million-plus she owes to consulting firm Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, $921,408 to MSHC Partners for printing and mail, and about $500,000 to Electrum Productions for equipment costs.

Speaking about the Clintons, Obama said Tuesday night that "I am going to need them." Also Tuesday, former President Clinton's office issued a statement saying he is "committed to doing whatever he can" for Obama. Obama said he and the Clintons will be "working closely together over the next couple of weeks to put together a plan."

"They're going to want to campaign actively on behalf of the Democratic ticket," Obama said. "Bill Clinton is one of the most intelligent, charismatic political leaders that we have seen in a generation, and he has got a lot of wisdom to impart." The former president was sharply critical of Obama on the campaign trail earlier this year, and he has yet to endorse the senator from Illinois publicly, even though his wife threw her support to him when she suspended her campaign on June 7. "[Sen. Clinton's] going to be a force to be reckoned with, not only in the Senate, but hopefully if I'm successful in the White House, she's going to be one of my key partners in making sure that we're moving forward on issues like health care that she cares so deeply about," Obama said. Obama spoke with his former rival Tuesday and said he looked forward to speaking with her husband soon. He is teaming up with the former first lady for a campaign appearance Friday in Unity, New Hampshire, where they both got 107 votes in the January primary.

Now can you imagine Hillary doing such a thing if the shoe was on the other foot? You’ll find no sympathy for Hillary from us. It serves her right for continuing with her campaign despite the fact that she was getting stomped. This sounds very peculiar indeed.
