GUNS AND ROSES- An analysis of Kenya’s potential Presidents 2027 and beyond~ by Bright Shitemi

Mr Odinga is probably perched in a top hotel in Addis. As he stares into the distance, eyes half closed he reminisces on his political career. In a few days he is about to face yet another election, this time for AU chairmanship. He has for the past year been on the campaign trail funded by tax payers, but it is for good reason, he must think. He has faced so many heartbreaks , it doesn’t help that he is an Arsenal fan to add on to the list of losses, but he smiles because while he has never been President he has benefited and held sway in all the regimes from Moi, Kibaki , Uhuru to now Ruto. He has also accumulated fabulous wealth , probably a dollar billionaire, unlike his father Jaramogi he doesn’t spend the sunset years or his political career in “opposition “. He takes one deep breathe wipes his eyes in his usual manner and sleeps with a smile. Why not ? Even when he loses he wins and back home he holds a lot of aces . His nemesis Mr Ruto is his to have . Infact Ruto wants him to win AU chairmanship more than he does.

You wonder why the government sanctions 100+ parliamentarians to travel on tax payer money to Addis ? Ahem.

But who is Raila? Many a Gen Z do not know the origins or the history of this political collosus.

Raila came into politics by grabbing and taking opportunities despite being a son of the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. He was not a polished politician like a Tom Mboya and in the initial years was more known for mobilization and confrontational politics. He did not wait to be annointed by his father to be the next Luo kingpin, he took it much to his chagrin. Among his first major acts was being implicated in the unsuccessful 1982 coup, this is something that alienated him from many but also drew a lot of admirers especially from the Gen Z of yore. Fortunately for him, his alleged role in the coup did not end as bad as it did for others who were hanged by Moi.

On 4th July 1990 at the age of 48 Raila was arrested and detained by President Moi. A third time to be detained without trial but one that would launch him into mainstream politics. Raila became one of the key figures of the resistance with Kenneth Matiba and Charles Rubia running a campaign for multiparty democracy.

When Moi released him he fled to Norway and came back in 1992 when he clinched the Langat’a parliamentary seat under Ford Kenya. When his father died in 1994 he wasted no time in challenging then party chairman Kijana Wamalwa but lost, he resigned and joined NDP but not before he unleashed men in black on Wamalwa and his supporters ( sounds familiar?)

Come 1997 he became MP and led his NDP party to merge with Kanu and his previous tormentor Mzee Moi. The first handshake.

Long story short since the first handshake where he served as Energy Minister for Moi and Kanu’s Sec Gen, Raila has been in all governments through hand shakes or hand cheques for some who maybe privy to more details .

Raila has always somehow managed to preach opposition and drink government. He is a political artist who knows what button to press, how and when and his go to move is always to create a siege mentality for his fanatical supporters. To many of his blind witnesses he can do no wrong. To those who take power he is the enemy you would rather share the bed with than have out there creating havoc.

How can we address the Kenyan culture without relying on presidency?

Waiting for a better president/presidency has had the effect of keeping many people in limbo as if they can't do anything yet we must believe in ourselves & each other enough to push for better without politicians & political support.

How do we empower people and businesses to create fair wealth for Kenyans?

It's time to unplug from political trust.

Tyson was arrested by DCI For wearing a T-shirt written MUST GO on the back!

He was then charged with INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE.

The DCI went to his cyber and took everything from the cyber!! Why must the government harass its citizens?

"Niaje bro, by the way I was arrested on this day and later released on a cash bail juu nulikua na tshirt imeandikwa must Go.
Hata walinipeleka hadi kwa cyber yangu Ngong na Subaru wakabeba machine na but wakarudisha date 29 last month ndio nikadecide kwenda **** kidogo"
