THE ENIGMA, DOYEN , POLITICAL GURU AND SOCIAL ENGINEER. RAILA ODINGA THE 5TH.

 Raila Amollo Odinga is the doyen of KENYA'S politics. Hate him or loath him. He is the real social and political engineer. The guru himself. I have never voted for him but this time round , I know by casting my one vote for him isn't enough to make him thr next president of Kenya but my support plus that one vote , Tinga will majestically walk in the State House and form the next Government. In him , I haven't allowed my mind to be blind folded by tribal mentality that Ruto are demons. I can vividly remember how Raila Odinga was demonize , bastardized and loathed. Politics is dynamic , now , the very person has become a house hold name. 

The narrative in Mt Kenya region has changed tremendously. In entertainment joints , market places , in Tea farms abs collection centres , in shopping centres and in PSV matatus , Raila Odinga is a topic of discussion. Tinga commands a formidable organic voting and support block. His charismatic leadership is what creates a strong magnetism between him and his hige support base across the Country. He always command a loyal support base which he doesn't bribe them using handouts. It is natural. The bond is extremely cordial and they believe in him since 1997 to date. Come August , they are warming to give him the votes the Thuraku Thuraku way. His moment is coming to a reality. The Raila Odinga of 2022 is totally different from that of 2007 , 2013 and 2017.

There is no need for hypocrisy especially in Mt Kenya region backyard. This are the same people in both low tones and loud tones who have been attesting that , Raila Odinga has been winning the previous presidential elections only that the so called "system and the establishment" has been rigging him out. They attest thing in the backdrop that , Raila Odinga in Mt Kenya region has been getting a paltry 10% of the votes. What about now he has the Martha Karua factor? They are now saying he won't win , how? 

Raila Odinga is a self made politician. He made his political base from a scratch in 1992. He vied for Langata parliamentary seat on a Ford Kenya ticket. After internal Political wrangles with party officials and especially the Western Kenya political honchos led by the late Kijana Wamalwa , Raila Odinga resigned from Ford Kenya party. As per the law , a by election was conducted in Langata Constituency. Raila Odinga formed his own political party , National Development Party (NDP). The symbol was a tractor. That's where his nickname Tinga stemmed from. It is the same party he used to vie for PRESIDENTIAL seat in 1997. With NDP , he comfortably secured his Langata parliamentary seat with a super majority.

Raila Odinga understands the art of politics very well. It is always in him. In GEMA nation regions , they loath him though the narrative is changing but attest that , once Raila will exit from active politics in Kenya , they will lose the mojo. Many will lose interest in them. It is Tinga who invented the BBI process after the March 13 Handshake between him and president Uhuru Kenyatta. It was a good document but the only problem was the process it's proponents subjected it into but no one contested its contents. It will be revisited very soon. The goodies in it especially of equitable distribution of national cake will resurface and will be addressed. The most hilarious thing is Ruto was number one BBI report secret admirer.


After the Reggae was strangled by the Courts right from the High to Supreme Court , many especially the opponents in Tanga Tanga brigade though RAILA has hit the political Waterloo. Owe into them , Raila as the master tactician and a political guru , re-invented himself through Azimio la Umoja slogan. Immediately , it swept the swathes of Kenyans hearts. The hastag #Inawezekana is in everyone lips , mind and soul. The Rero ni Rero song which is Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party signature is being recited and sang everywhere including in Mt Kenya region. Women in the market and in their houses while undertaking their house chores they are singing that song. They don't want to know its meaning but the fact is , it is associated with Azimio la Umoja who presidential aspirant is Raila Odinga and Martha Karua SC as her Running mate.


The Raila Odinga presidency is not around the corner but it has already taken the corner. Its aroma and frenzy is all over. Stretching from Witu to Lokichar , from Moyale to Namanga , from El wak to Migori. The Tinga presidency is imminent and majority of kenyans are happy. This hogwash narrative that Raila Odinga becomes president of Kenya , Luo nation will not be paying taxes , they will not be paying bills in hotels , rent etc. This is a retrogressive thinking. If Raila Odinga becomes the next president , he will be the Head of State and Government who will serve all kenyans irrespective of the region one hails from. Raila's clarion call is Azimio la Umoja (Declaration of Unity) of all Kenyans. Raila won't be the president of his Luo community.

One of the problem that made GEMA nation to hate President Uhuru Kenyatta is that , they are suffering from an entitlement that , they deserve more development projects and services than any other ethnic community or region. What they forgot is, president Uhuru Kenyatta was supposed to serve all kenyans , both those who voted for him and those who didn't. He took an oath to safeguard the interests of all Kenyans as per the constitution of KENYA. Similarly , if the luo nation will go with this mentality once Raila Odinga will be declared the 5th President of Kenya , they will hate him in the first 100 days. I hope they aren't that optimistic. Am just preparing them psychologically. Raila Odinga won't be elected as the next president but he will be Made the next president of Kenya. INAWEZEKANA.
