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

Police probe Bellamy altercation













Police are investigating an incident in which Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy confronted a fan on the pitch.

Bellamy marched towards the man, who staged a solo pitch invasion, and shoved him in the face before the fan was led away by match stewards at the Manchester derby game. The man ran from the Manchester United home section as City took the kick-off following Michael Owen's late goal in United's 4-3 victory.

Neither the fan nor the Wales international have made a complaint to police about the clash on Sunday.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "At the end of the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, a member of the public ran on to the pitch, and was detained by police and security staff. During this time, there was an altercation between the man and a player from Manchester City FC. No formal complaint has been made by either party but police are continuing to make inquiries."

Mark Hughes has leapt to Bellamy's defence with the City manager feeling blame should lie with the supporter, as it is illegal for them to enter onto the field of play. "I did not see it but the guy should not have been on the pitch. That is not acceptable," said Hughes. "I seem to recall Brian Clough clipping someone around the ear and he was lauded as a national hero. Maybe it will be the same case with Craig but I doubt it. I'm sure people will make a nuisance about it."

Hughes also confirmed that substitute Javier Garrido was hit by a coin as the players retreated to the dressing room at half-time. Seemingly, the object was intended to hit Carlos Tevez, who returned to his former club for the first time since a summer switch across the city. Garrido was not hurt, but again the FA are likely to be interesting in more details. "Apparently so," Hughes confirmed. "Something came from the crowd but he is okay."
