OPEN LETTER TO THE LUO NATION

As a Kalenjin, a cousin to the Luo, I say with all conviction that one indisputable truth is the Luo Nation has been in the forefront in our liberation struggle ab initio.

When England wanted to gift us independence (that we fought for independence is debatable), they offered Jaramogi Oginga Odinga to be our first Prime Minister. He demurred & said Jomo Kenyatta must be released & made the Prime Minister instead. Jomo became our first Prime Minister. In 1964,he became our 1st President & made Jaramogi his Vice President. Their fallout is well known. And “marginalization” of Nyanza begun. Or so some say. Jomo had powerful Luos in his government,

Fast forward. Luo Nation led Kenya in its 2nd liberation that made Kenya multi party. Then President Daniel Arap Moi co-opted LDP & gave Luo luminaries powerful positions in government! Moi who had been demonized was praised as holier than Moses!

Then in 2002, Luo Nation said KIBAKI TOSHA. After three years, Luo Nation teamed up with Kalenjin Nation & others to form Orange Movement. 2007 was our lowest moment. Kenya descended into tribal anarchy. The world saved us!

Then Mwai Kibaki entered into a Coalition Government with Raila Odinga. Luo Nation were happy to be part of the Government & Kibaki was praised to the high heavens.

2013 came. Luo Nation found themselves out for five years. Then in the second term of UHURUTO, there was handshake. Uhuru was praised as the messiah! Even Nyanza leaders danced on Uhuru’s birthdays!

Now, Uhuru is the devil incarnate. Nyanza is part of the BroadBased government & everything before today was Luo Marginalization! Now Luo say they are in paradise.

MAYBE, it is time Luo Nation enters into genuine self-introspection. Is co-opting of few Luo leaders in every government since 1963 good for them or beneficial to the few only? Why is it every time few are co-opted,the entire tribe is happy for that moment. It has been same for over 60 YEARS!

What does the Luo Nation want? If they have agreed that ODM & UDA come together,then they must dissolve their parties into one. A political marriage works if all feet are inside. Luo Nation must risk all or lose everytime then complain. They must stop being a flower girl in every wedding. They must be the Bride or Groom!

Any other arrangement will always have same outcome. Ending immediately after elections.

@HusseinMohamedg This should be the least reason for the Government Existence. There is no value for money and with time preferences do change .

All about Talanta Infrastructure Bond/ debt and pushing Kenya into a debt and Fiscal cliff.

The story of a Debt of Ksh 44.8Bn that Kenyans will pay Ksh 100Bn on interest alone.
