I have never spoken to Edwin Sifuna in person
To me, he was just an eloquent mouthpiece of opposition like many before him
Until he stood in the senate to ask, “WHERE IS AOKO” when Ruto and his thugs were after me
Nikampenda! Coz even my MP, my Senator, Woman Rep or GOVERNOR did not give a shit whether I am murdered
They were waiting kuleta mchango mazishi
Babu Owino on the other hand, our paths crossed during DJ Evolve issue. When the world was vilifying him
I saw a man who had made an egregious mistake and as all of us err, was repentant and ready to atone
We have remained friends since. When it was I in trouble, when I could not post bail ya 100k
Son of Nyalenda showed up. We speak. We share. We fight. We differ. We laugh. We love each other. We are siblings now
He knows my parents. I know his family
When Raila died, Orengo and Babu held the first meeting. Then subsequent meetings roped in Sifuna
Agenda was , there is a lacuna and Ruto is rushing to fill it. At the detriment of Luos
Then they decided no, this is bigger than Luo, it is those left behind by Raila across divide
When I saw them together, karibu niseme “bye Matiang’i”, I am now home
But Doc is my second dad. On his cross I die
Then it morphed to… National thing
I refuse to get into the in-house war btwn Ongili and Sifuna for the simple reason that it benefits one person- Ruto
It is IDIOTIC. Odious. Pathetic. Unwarranted.
I pray we don’t get to choose sides, I will choose Babu. Then what? Wewe you choose Sifuna, then?
Linda strength lies in their unity and mutual respect
Before you open your stinking mouth, know that these two staying together is our hope
If we joke with that, Ruto tawala tena BAS!
