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

"You are a melagomaniac and I don’t have time for it," Tuju tells Kositany.


The battle for the soul of the Jubilee Party is deteriorating with increasing scathing letters exchanged between the party leadership.

On Monday evening, Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju responded in style  to his deputy Caleb Kositany, who had demanded to be furnished with all the party's financial documents within seven days.

In a tough-worded letter, Tuju informed Kositany, a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto, that the party had already been documented by the Auditor General over the past three years, save for the just ended 2019-2020 financial year.

“I have received your letter in which you demand to be furnished with audited accounts of the Jubilee Party. You have signed off as Jubilee Secretary-General. Sir, I am delighted to inform you that the Office of the Auditor General completed their audit of our accounts for the year 2016-2017, 2017-2018, 2018-2019.”

“These are public documents and you are entitled to get from the Auditor General’s office or the Registrar of Political Parties. The Party cannot receive political parties funds without due compliance. We shall be tabling them at the NEC meeting,” Tuju wrote.

The Secretary General further reprimanded his deputy for using the word demand and giving an ultimatum to his boss. Tuju described his deputy’s behavior as megalomania – a mental disorder where a victim has delusions about their power or importance. The Cabinet Secretary sarcastically regretted that he was not in a position to treat his deputy of the said disease.

“Your latest letter demanding documentation from the office of the Secretary-General where you are the deputy and you proceed to give an ultimatum of seven days is puzzling if not some rather desperate political posturing. All these expose an extreme form of megalomaniacal behavior. Unfortunately, in this office, we do not have the capacity or qualification to deal with such malady. In any case, you should be addressing such issues to the office of Mr. Alfred Kipkorir Mutai who is the Treasurer and an NEC member just like you,” the Jubilee boss’ added.

Kositany, a vocal ally of Deputy President William Ruto, has in the recent past alleged massive corruption at Jubilee’s Pangani headquarters.
