My elders; I greet you! My village people
and fellow country me; shalom! You must have seen or even heard the empty
gibberish that hit the Son of the Bull last week in Nyando; Kisumu county.
Some say; the
decision by the former (I’m still on that debate; whether to call him former)
Prime Minister Raila Odinga; while addressing mourners at the late KNUT secretary
General David Okuta’s burial; to implore Kenyans to identify him by his name
was courageous; strategic and commendable.
I don’t know
about you but I disagree. Raila may be content with his current status and
probably even moved on with life. But have his supporters moved on?
I agree with Mr.
Barrack Muluka; writing on the standard newspaper; “so take our message to those big
people. Tell the big chief that here in Emanyulia; we can accept what the judge
says; but that does not mean we believe it. In fact; tell him we promised to
accept the election results. But we never promised to believe them. We also
promised to accept what the court says. But we did not promise to believe it. The
court is the law. Is the law the truth?”
But then
again; this is the reality on the ground. See; the people of Emanyulia; where Mr.
Muluka is from; and many CORD supporters have now come to terms with the march
4th election outcome. They have accepted that Uhuru Kenyatta is the
4th president of Kenya; with William Ruto as Deputy President. But with
all these; we still know that they were confident that the election outcome
would be in line with what pollsters had been saying all along. That is that;
the Son of the Bull was the man to beat.
Over the next
few day; it seems if what we witnessed at Nyando is anything to go by; it will
be hard to address Raila Odinga. One used the phrase: “his Excellency the
President Raila Odinga.”
Finally; to
the twirra
(twitter) community; he will simply remain to be #RAO.
To the
comrades; he remains Baba or as they call him Jakom.
To the people of Emanyulia; he is simply The Son of the Bull!
