I can confirm that the last time FOOLS tried to stop a TEACHER from teaching, through a court process, was in 399BC. The teacher was the famous philosopher SOCRATES. Robert ALAI is trying to repeat that feat 2424 years later. It takes millenia to produce this kind of stupidity.
Some of us LOST our seats in the 2022 elections FOR STANDING with BABA. Kindly as you vilify Gov. Kahiga kindly, Gov.Wanga and Co. DONT drag the MT. Kenya Community in this unfortunate matter. You are also now crossing the LINE! Leave US now we deal with our Kahiga internally
BBC,
This framing is an egregious & mischievous simplification.
Africa's fight for independence was shaped in the hearts, minds & actions of our freedom heroes, our people. In their blood.
Let us never reduce their struggle and sacrifice to a cushy convening in Manchester.
It is deeply moving to see Mai Tsvangirai travel to Bondo for the funeral of Prime Minister Raila Odinga. This is a powerful gesture of reciprocity. When President Tsvangirai was ill and the party struggled with medical bills, Baba Raila came to our rescue. We will never forget his support and the fatherly comfort he offered in Buhera during the funeral
When our President Morgan Tsvangirai died in 2019 I went to receive Baba Raila Odinga at the airport when he came to attend the funeral of his friend Morgan Tsvangirai . We immediately asked for his help with two crises:
1. Thousands of supporters rejecting the ZANU PF and Government’s presence.
2. Family members opposing Mama Elizabeth from attending the funeral and burying her husband.
Miraculously, he navigated both. ZANU-PF attended & Mama Elizabeth buried her husband. A lesson in quiet diplomacy we'll never forget. Rest well, Baba.
Among all of Raila's children, he is perhaps the one who has borne the greatest cost of his father’s political convictions, an unwitting casualty of a lifelong struggle waged in the name of democracy and justice. Many people remain unaware of Raila Junior’s quiet yet remarkable achievements.
He is not merely the son of a political titan; he is a distinguished professional in his own right. Junior holds a BA (Honours) in Accounting and Finance from the University of Wales and a MSc in Finance from the University of Leeds.
As a sharp and grounded entrepreneur, he manages the family business portfolio while serving as CEO and Executive Producer of Creative Hub, a reputable production company that crafts high-quality advertisements for mainstream media.
Having once worked there myself, I can attest to his discipline, creativity, and sense of purpose. Beyond business, Junior devotes his time to mentoring children living with disabilities, a profound reflection of his empathy and moral conviction.
Yet, despite these accomplishments, Raila Junior has long been subjected to mockery and prejudice not because of his character or competence, but because of a medical condition that was beyond his control.
He has been a casualty of his father’s political identity, unfairly reduced to caricature by those of us who see the Odinga name before they see the human being. It is easy to forget that behind every public figure stands a person, one who feels, struggles, and bleeds just like the rest of us.
It is disheartening, even tragic, that during a moment of grief as he mourned his father, some chose to focus not on his composure, intellect, or dignity, but on something as shallow as his physical appearance. Here was a man who walked into that solemn space with grace, his beautiful wife by his side, his demeanor calm and respectful, yet society’s instinct was to ridicule rather than empathize.
If an individual like Raila Junior who's educated, successful, disciplined, compassionate, and dignified can still be reduced to a mere object of ridicule, then perhaps it is not him who needs healing, but society itself. We have normalized cruelty in the name of humour and lost sight of the humanity that binds us.
Let us relearn empathy. Let us remember that kindness costs nothing, yet its absence impoverishes us all. Let us celebrate resilience instead of ridiculing difference. You never truly know the battles someone is fighting behind their smile; sometimes, a single cruel word can wound deeper than silence ever could.
Raila Odinga’s passing has reminded me of one enduring truth: political differences should never eclipse our shared humanity. I will never again despise someone for thinking differently. Because in the end, empathy not ideology is what defines us. May Raila Amolo Odinga rest in eternal peace.💔
Raila Odinga was more than a politician, he was a symbol of courage, resilience, and unwavering belief in democracy. He reshaped the political landscape of Kenya, challenging systems and inspiring generations to dream of a freer, fairer nation. His legacy lives on in the courage of our youth, who continue to speak truth to power, just as he did. Raila taught us that true leadership is not about titles, but about sacrifice, vision, and the relentless pursuit of justice for all
NIND GI KWE 🕊️
We will mourn Raila Odinga like we never had any differences with him. We will mourn him not because he was always good to us, but because the democracy we enjoy today stands on his shoulders. He bears the scars, and he deserves the credit.🕊️

I have a theory…
If I lead the team that does all the dirty work to keep you in power ,the intimidation, the cover-ups, even the killings, then you don’t sacrifice me when the heat rises. You protect me. Why? Because if you throw me under the bus, the rest of the team will never lift a finger for you again. They’ll know their loyalty means nothing.
So what do you do instead? You keep me far from the crime scene. You spin the narrative. You advise me to “step aside” not as punishment, but as strategy,while I still control the game from the shadows.
You throw a few coins at the grieving family. You send a statement laced in empathy but hollow in action. You promise reforms you have no intention of making. You bet on Kenyans to move on, and we usually do…..
Albert’s death wasn’t a mistake, It was a message,a warning, a consequence of asking too many questions in a land where truth costs lives.And the real puppeteers, They’ll keep dining in statehouses, They’ll quote scripture on Sunday and sign death warrants on Monday.
And together, we wait.
Wait for the outrage to fade.
Wait for Albert Ojwang’s name to disappear from the headlines, because that’s how the system works✌️
System ni ya………..✌️
#JusticeForAlbertOjwang
@OCTOPIZZO This is one of the saddest moments of Kenya we have never sunk this low where the government hates its people this much with a passion . We truly don't have leaders but dealers . I truly mourn for my motherland today.
