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.

Thaksin and his wife were in Beijing over the weekend after a court allowed them to attend the Olympic Games opening ceremony and then flew to England rather than returning to Thailand. The Thai court could now issue an arrest warrant for Thaksin, who was ousted in a military coup in 2006.

Thaksin completed his purchase of Manchester City in July last year while he was in exile in Britain and is believed to have around £200m available to him. But with such a dent in his wallet Shinawatra is unlikely to fund the building process to move City forward with manager Mark Hughes desperate to strengthen his squad.

The City owner's refusal to head to Bangkok has fuelled rumours that Hughes might actually have to sell players rather than recruit new talent.
