By Raila Odinga
This afternoon, accompanied by H. E Kalonzo Musyoka and Sen Moses Wetangula, I visited the victims of the Huruma building collapse tragedy in Mathare hosted by Deputy Governor H. E Jonathan Mueke.
I received a comprehensive briefing from the Incident Commander before touring the affected area. We noted with great concern the proliferation of buildings on riparian land. I directed the Nairobi City County Government to move with speed to ensure all illegal construction is halted and unsafe buildings demolished to prevent further loss of life.
I then visited the Huruma Social Hall where upwards of 250 victims are currently housed donating blankets, foodstuffs and water to ease the burden. The Nairobi City County Government also committed to meet the funeral expenses of the deceased and clear the hospital bills of the injured.

Love him or hate him, the Kenya we have today has in one way or another been shaped by one man who has always been keeping governments on their toes. From the days of one party state to the multiparty democracy we enjoy today, there is no one who has influenced Kenya’s political scene more than the former PM Raila Odinga. Having never tasted power of the presidential seat, he has still done more for the Kenyan people than any president has done since independence. From fighting for and achieving multiparty democracy, to enjoying the fruits of our new constitution that we fondly call the most progressive in Africa. These are fruits of one man’s policy of never giving in to government harassment. When Kenyans came together and said Kibaki tosha, it was Raila again who was kingmaker. There was never really any credible opposition to the government under Uhuru Kenyatta but through back stabbing ungratefulness, the NARC government fell apart and Raila was soon back to what he does best, opposing. There is really no credible opposition in our country without this one man being in it and there might not be an opposition leader in the world who has achieved more for his country than Raila has for Kenya. If Raila ever won the presidency, who in Kenya would be leader of opposition? Who would oppose the one person who has shaped Kenya for all it is now? We still don’t know what he might do for Kenya as a president and we may never get to know, but him being in opposition has achieved more good for Kenya than all our presidents have achieved combined. Vote Raila Odinga 2017 and Kenya will never be same.

RAO: Please do not allow the watermelon to elbow you. How can a MOU work if the desired goal was not achieved? Wewe ni mwanaume who was man enough to say: ‘Ubako Tosha!’

Its funny how people lie to themselves and believe their lies. As a Kenyan involved in the real Saba sabas n Nane nanes, Raila featured no where in the struggle for Multiparty. It is Orengo, Njoya, and the Muites of Kenya you should thank. Raila was jailed for the blood that Kenyans shed in 1982 coup that he led agains Moi who was good then. He became Prime Minister by the Blood Kenyans shed 2007 n wants Ruto to carry it. We see the deception and many continue to see….we say No. Abaki na watu wake!!

RAO lead the people from the yoke of Jubilee and its minions. Do not ls ten to hapless so-called Western diplomats mouthing off about caution. The silly diplomats have no clue what they are talking about. As clueless as the American elite that has seen the political scene shift from right under their feet as the fed up electorate revolt against meaningless exhortations about globalization and progress. The Kenyan public should totally reject these Davos mouthpieces. If they had been alive during the days of slavery on America they would have argued for dialogue between slaves and their masters and urged slaves to reject any calls to revolt. The chief fainthearted is Obama whose ‘caution’ and ‘ deliberation’ has led to chaos in the world.

This a sea of humanity never witnessed b4 in huruma turn to welkom Jakom,kalonzo and weta,but the same can’t be said of uhuruto. Now what is the meaning of this? Any sane person can see who is more popular btwn agwambo and uhuru. Thats why i insist,there is no need of voting since the result do not reflect the will of the majority. A very sad and bad situation that we are in and there is nothing we can do about it.
Richard Arap says
EVANET,am pleased nawe ubarikiwe even if the hyenas don’t want AGWAMBO to be president, we love AGWAMBO than any leader in Kenya today. We don’t have anything to smile of uhuruto since they ascend to power only thievery of our treasury .May God punish them one day soon. Heko heko Odinga.
