Misunderstanding the Odinga Factor

Readers,

Untill people like this "Anonymous Journalist" realize that the collective Ramogi psyche is larger than an individual, the more they will continue to misunderstand the Luo adulation of the Warrior (Thuon; Rwath) and their collective political action. The tripodal Rwath (Thuon, the Warrior); Rwoth (the Elder of Elders, the Leader), and the (Ja)Bilo (the prophet-magician) sytem of governance still lives among the Luo in the form of The Warrior Politician; The Elder Leadership, and the Intelligensia.

The Rwoth did not rule alone, he had a Council of Equals (Elders); the Warrior (Thuon) led a collective of fighters, and received his orders form the Council of Elders; the Ja Bilo acted as the sixth sense of the Rwoth Concil---guiding and moderating the actions of the council.

This Tripodal Luo governance continues to live on as a uniting force of the community for good or worse.

Hon Odinga is the proven Warrior of the moment, and his gravita (Presence) is shaking other stars in the poilitical gallaxy. But he listens to the wise counsel of the Council of Elders; with the modern-day Luo Elite as the core of a new moderating force. These three form and manage the what alien observers call "collective Luo psyche."

In a different time, perhaps when all of us are gone, there still will be another Warrior; other Leadership, and other Intelligensia. At this time Hon Odinga is the face of the Warriorship; and he is not alone.
