Default Uughhh! i thought nyanza people just follows raila blindly!!! - 05-12-2008, 12:40 PM

After reading threads and different posts here, I was almost convinced that Nyanza people jump when Raila says so....Why were they murmuring if this was the case? Why did they reject most politicians during the chaotic nomination process last time....

Maybe I got it all wrong...That must have been a different Nyanza!!

Looks like a new Nyanza is emerging
 


I realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.

Default Nyanza Thinks Freely - 05-13-2008, 01:16 AM

The fatal belief that Nyanza follows Raila blindly is one that has been fostered and propagated by Railaphobics. Nyanza people have always been freethinkers, always stating issues as they are and shooting straight at the target. Raila happens to be our son, bread on the same values that Nyanza people stand for. The actual and factual truth is a complete inverse of what Railaphobics have thought for many years on.

Raila dreams of the same dream many a Nyanza people cherish. The dream of a better Kenya; A Kenya that is devoid of ethnic apartheid, a nation that emphasizes on equality and peoples' oneness; a country where a thief will be called a thief and not embrace of thievery clothed in the garb of deceptive industriousness; A just place where justice is meted out without favour or prejudice; A political environment where politics is a means of bettering life and not a tool of destruction... I can go on about my peoples' dreams.

These are what have always put Nyanza on a collision cause with one bad regime after another. Yes our son is a premier now, but that does not hinder us from telling him off, after all he is who he is because of the truth he has always lived; the truth he got from his Mother, Nyanza.

Now we are telling him that we want amnesty given to those who have been selectively thrown into prison cells for post election violence reason. We find it foul that trigger happy police officers are free while the pain of losing our people is still unbearable. Yes there is coalition Government now, but that is not the end, more need to be done for absolute peace to return. If those Kalenjin warriors will remain in prison then we also make a radical demand that thief Kibaki be put in there with them. You cannot jail a person who is exterminating a thief and his cahoots and leave the thief to jail him.

Teejay,

Now whatever you have said is practically incomprehensible to PNU. They cannot understand how a council of elders having met with the people, can choose a man to fight for what is right. To them leadership is about old homeguards meeting in the dead of the night and schemeing how to milk Kenya dry.

Very insightful.....I never used to believe it, but I now believe that kuna anti-Nyanza feelings in Central..whether its tribalism, hate..or whatever..I do not know.

I believe that kales are next that line now...If I were them, I would rather placate the RV elders. The land issue is gonna crop up again in less than 5 yrs
