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.

Todd, who is white, told police she was attacked by a 6-foot-4 black man Wednesday night. She now can’t explain why she invented the story, Bryant said. Todd also told police she believes she cut the backward “B” onto her own cheek, but she didn’t explain how or why. “They just started talking to her and she just opened up and said she wanted to tell the truth,” Bryant said. Bryant said it doesn’t appear that anyone else put the woman up to the false report. Police suspected all along that Todd might not be telling the truth, starting with the fact that the “B” was backward, Bryant said.

A screen grab of Todd's Twitter page--which was linked from her page on a College Republican National Committee web site--can be found below. At about 6 PM (EST) last thursday, Todd's Twitter page became protected and was no longer publicly available.
