To do this he approached upcoming leaders across the land. Musa Araap Sirma in Tugen, William Araap Ruto in Nandi, John Araap Serut in Sabaot. He also approached Araap Biwott in Keiyo for financial muscle.
Kones was a man blessed with sheer bravery and a gung-ho brand of politics. When he chose to make a move, popularity wasn't his concern.
He was aware that the cultural differences between the Luo and the Kalenjin would be exploited to muddy the Raila project, but he was a man who, unlike his peers, was aware that one needed to lead the masses if he wanted to change the narrative.
He went to work mobilising the support. He was in fact the host of the Kapkatet Declaration rally, where Raila acquired the name "Araap Mibei".
Raila now became Kalenjins "Son Of The Lake"
By the time the ODM presidential nominations came on 1st September 2007 at the Kasarani Stadium, Kones had done enough, now joined by other colleagues, to ensure that the destiny of the ODM ticket was clear.
Of course the Kikuyu mafia would not let this ticket win leading to the catastrophic events after Martha Karua and fellow mafia stole the 2007 elections. ....
William Alfred Mutulangi was a senior Manager with Pepsi Cola in the US. He died. Got cremated without the knowledge of his family in Kenya. He had assets worth millions in the US. Since last year, the US embassy in Kenya (@USEmbassyKenya) has denied a family member Visa to go to the US to follow up on the succession case as well as retrieve their kin's ashes. Officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (@ForeignOfficeKE) have been evading helping the family with some officials demanding hefty bribes. What is this country coming to bwana? @MusaliaMudavadi, what the hell is going on? 🤔
