TUJU CRONIES ISSUE THREAT

Fellow community members, I applaud Jaluo.com for the wonderfull opportunity they have accorded all of us to air our views on matters ranging from Luo culture and beliefs to the current political climate. A few days ago, I issued a statement about known cronies of outgoing Rarieda MP Raphael Tuju. I have in the last 48 hours received threats to my life and my family's life. I believe in transparency and I have constantly said, that if we have to support Hon.Raila Odinga, then it has to be done by genuine supporters not moles who penetrate our course with the aim of damaging it from within. I am ready for anyone who wants to harm me or my family, but I will not waiver in my support for Hon.Raila Odinga because I know that his leadership will take our beloved country to greater prosperity. If the subjects I mentioned are ready to denounce my claims, then they should be free to do so in an open forum like Jaluo.com or any other.

The subjects cannot deny this because they themselves know the truth. I stand by my statement and I add to it that cronies of Raphael Odiyo Tuju, who have constantly tarnished the name of Hon.Raila Odinga should not be allowed to penetrate any pro Raila grouping.
