Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
Dear Kenyan middle class, your overpriced rental, 2nd hand Japanese/German car or cushy 15th floor corporate job at Upperhill can't shield you from dysfunction.
You're more close to Us, the Natives, than you are to being an extractive billionaire. Stop being delusional, Wake Up!
