A Saturday morning. Distraught, vulnerable, harassed, scorned on. We went to Raila’s Agip house office. Told him our problem; he promptyly dialled @orengo_james, instructed him to take up our SONU’92 case. Jim delegated to Otieno Kajuang’, PRO BONO. Our case win was a precedence.
I had not met Raila before. After patiently listening to our SONU’92 plight, he just dialled the phone, instantly instructed Orengo we be helped. As we stood to exit, RAO reached for his pocket, gave me & comrades sh400 for lunch. We walked to Topaz fish & chips. We WON case.
On behalf of comrades with whom I was in Moi’s court facing expulsion from @uonbi because of founding Student Opinion (STOP) to agitate for lifting of the ban on SONU, readmission of all expelled students & lecturers, amongst other NATIONAL grievances, I say ASANTENI MASHUJAA.
Even as we rooted his reign, Raila lost because of inertia, crooks. But won’t begrudge Agwambo. Ruto’s eloquent bottom-up motto was quite a sparkle. I almost joined him! But informed by history, paranoid of unknown, I on Friday 10th December 2021 declared ‘I AM SAFER WITH BABA’.
I reiterate if only to amplify. Ruto fairly, validly won 2022 Presidential Election. Our Azimio Presidential campaign was state-captured, shambolic, gravy train for crooks. I restate if only to reassert the obvious, Ruto is a FAILED President. #MaandamanoWednesday is a duty call
Conclusion: THE ANGER, DISQUIET, DISCONTENT, RESTLESSNESS, UPRISINGS engulfing Kenya NOT because of Raila Odinga. The PROBLEM is Ruto’s lies, deficiency in statecraft, rear-mirror politics, inability to match his rhetorics & bravados with actions, thus fueling #CostOfLivingCrisis
Unless Ruto acts statemanly #CostOfLivingCrisis #FinanceAct2023 latest Tue 19th, #MaandamanoWednesday a turning point, perhaps a point of no return. Ruto won the vote, Ruto in denial has lost ground. The masses are the seas in which guerrillas swim. Cry My Beloved Kenya. Viva!
