Jaramogi was a great Nationalist

Migosi Ong'wen,

Thanks for elaborating on those who want to distort the history of the great Kenyan son, Late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. In fact they are forgetting that it was Jaramogi who brought Kibaki from Makerere and appointed him the first Director of Kanu. It was Jaramogi who gave free scholarships across the country to all tribes indiscriminately. Joseph Kamotho is living testimony. There are many other noble sacrifices he made for the entire Country.

Kenyan are forgetting that KPU had overwhelming support across the country in 1965. That fact forced the unpopular Kenyatta government to ban and detained its members across the Kenyan Provinces.

Raila is nationalist within Parliament riding in the cosmopolitan. In his capacity there,Raila had his dream and conviction. That made him be targeted as a threat to the dictatorial regimes of Moi and now Kibaki. Therefore it was other ethnic group in Kenya who actually gain more in Jaramogi's than Luos themselves. So let the son of Ramogi sleep in peace, "Jaramogi nam okadho ayora".

Jaramogi was mentor like James Orengo, "nyatieng" , Onyango Midika, Akumu Jakogero, Dimba Jakobuya, and many others who today is not in the mainstream luo politics. But read me ! MAJIMBO IS ON HIS WAY BACK TO KENYA !
