What Did Raila Odinga Say at The United Nations?

  1. Until we see ACTION being taken to resolve all the things he said, those are just empty words. It’s going to be three years this December since the tragedy in Kenya happened. What have they been doing since then except looting the country. Right now words are empty…, the people of Kenya want to see progress. Until then, I would rather he had said nothing at the meeting, or at least he should have admitted to the mistakes the Government has done. Bure Kabisa.

  2. Wangui, I fully support your sentiments but the UN ASSEMBLY would have been a wrong forum for Odinga to present the issues you mentioned.

    As we speak, Kibaki has ordered a closure of all the IDPs camps. Orengo had once requested that IDPs be settled at any corner of the country but Kibaki refused. As usual, the Central Kenya elite (land grabbers) can never allow their own people to resettle there. Instead, there are cases of poor individuals who have been accepting some IDPs to resettle in Central Kenya.

    The WAKI LIST is with Ocampo and it is Kibaki’s PNU (Party of National Unity) that has been dragging it’s feet on the modality of dealing with the perpetrators of Kenya’s Post-election Violence.

    Right now RUTO whose head many Central Kenyan members swore to get, is sleeping with Uhuru Kenyatta in the same political bed in the name of Kikuyu-Kalenjin Alliance. So who is cheating who?

    Impunity continues especially from the PNU members. Kibaki has renewed Justice Ringera’s KACC contract without giving a damn about the right channels of recruitment. Life goes on even as some sneer at the other political divide.

  3. impunity you have summised well and is well conversant with the issues on the kenyas roller coaster political agenda of which i am sorry to say that wangui should take note of.Wangui i also support your sentiments but the UN forum has got nothing to do with kenyas political dire strait,wangui the power to change our country as you well know is through the same ballot box and not by any affiliations whatsover.Wangui,let me share a dream i have always dreamed of:and that is:”As a kenyan,i wish that in the next general elections i should be given a chance to elect plitical personalities who are of the same intergrity like the so many wakenya in stockholm who are genuinely concerned with what is happening to their country”……i hope there is nom harm done with my comment KSB.

    KSB: No harm. We uphold freedom of speech as long as the rules of the game are followed.
