Hon Amolo,it is my pleasure to salute you from the baltic
lands at
these time that things seem to be taking a different turn. Mine is to
encourage you with the words of Martin Luther King Jnr '' The ultimate
misery of such a man were moments when he stood in challange an
controversy and not in moments of comfort and contentment.''
Anybody fighting you with empty words is trying to make a
name for
himself or herself(Ngilu and Karu),it appears you have become the Moi
of the present age.Do not relinquish your stand.Men of integrity are
those who stand on their words.Embrace the virtue of dialogue and not
verbal confrontations that will reuduce you to a the level of petty
politicians whose league i believe you are now far above.
Owadgi Akinyi chuma liet ok mulgi lwedo,anything good has
come upon
the shoulders of men who took the risks and were determined to to make
an chievement.Though born in crusible course determined to cause their
ultimate demise,they have always confounded their critics when they
emerged in valliant vicktory.Such people are built by their faliures
and promoted by their persecutions.You can have him stranded ina valley
of snow but that will give you a Geroge Washington;he
undured the
pain and did not cave in to the demon called surrender,but the
fruits
of his patience was the birth of a new nation.Jail him for the
religious rules of his time but do not deny him a pencil and a paper
for that will give you John Banyon who wrote ''Pilgrims Progress'' the
greatest literary work after the new testament.Stricken down with
infantile paralysis but will give you a Franklin D Rooselvelt. You can
burn his body so severely that the doctors hand him over to his mother
claiming he will never walk again but do not cut him off
sportrs for that will give you a
Glenn Cunningham who set the world record i one mile in 1934.Burn him
in oil if you will and banish him in the Island of Patmos off the coast
of Ephesus with nothing for company but beasts. However, you
better
not write his biography then for John will hear behind him the sound of
many waters and recieve the greatest revelation of Jesus ever given to
mortal man.Raise him up in absolute poverty and (hear this now) make
him submitt to the cruelest forms of personal and political faliures
but that will give you a one of America's founding fathers Abraham
Lincoln.He could be born black in society where racism is the order of
the day but that will give a Martin Luther King Jnr whose words fortify
my message for you today. Label him a slow learner and write him off as
uneducable but do not expel him for that will give you an Albert
Einsteins.Let the doctors sign his death certificate while he is still
breathing but do
not denie him the gospel for that will give you missionary
stateman, the late Dr Lester Samrall.
These are men who were called great not because they
never failed
bwana Odinga but because they did not quit.When you see opposition,it
is the clearest sign of your position.As i pen off i wish you good
health and success in all your efforts.Justice will prevail,you did the
donkey work in this battle and a good workman deserves fare wages.Let's
take care not to be at crossroads with captain or else we may be dumped
into the limbo of 69.In this aspect your supporters must redesign thier
strategies.Recently you were paid a ''visit'' i believce this is a good
ground for you now to lead a inspection in Imenti and win the favour of
those people.You were branded a hero in Captain's homecoming party,do
not loose that support at grassroots.We have a Luo council;i believe
one thing they have to do is to harmonise enemity between Luo
thinktanks for we do not want to see a replay of Mboya(mastermind of
Limuru conference for regional vice presidency) and Jaramogi struggle,i
say this nikech
wan kod andoke moko kodwa.The bomas i believe will be the actual
oppossite of that conference as far as the PM issue is concerned.The
Limuru one sidelined your father but this time jokogalo nyaka yor ka
jineno nikech yamo oseloko
May the mighty arm of the Lord be with you always.
