DUE LACK OF OPPOSITION AS THE RESULT RAILA ODINGA AND UHURU KENYATTA JOINING TO SCUFFLE ANY OPPOSING VOICE, THERE IS UN=DECLARED MARTIAL LAW!
Raila Odinga and his ODM team are being paid by foreign funds and Kenyan taxpayers to allow the crack down, brutalization and killing of any opposing voice in every corner of the Kenyan Republic!
When Raila Odinga refers to Miguna Miguna as a “THING or DOG”, imagine what the rest of the poor and powerless population of Kenya may look like in their eyes; MOSQUITOES or FLIES whose lives can be sprayed with bugs killer??
THIS WHAT THE UNEXPLAINED HANDSHAKE WAS ALL ABOUT; THE BRUTALIZATION AND INTIMIDATION OF KENYANS TO SILENCE while the AUCTIONING OF RESOURCES TO PAY THE CORRUPTION FOREIGN DEBTS PROCEED UNINTERRUPTED!
