Re: DO RAILA SUPPORTERS KNOW THAT HUMMER / NYUNDO SLOGAN IS A BAD CAMPAIGN TOOL?

Jaduong' Abonyo,

Just as Obell wuon Nyanja wuod opine,you start the article very well & ended poorly.We all know when the car Pajero came to Kenya & how it's fame swept the place & of course many more.Let me ask thus:

1] More than 20 years ago,one Hon.Arthur Magugu had a case of his sports Utility Mercedes which then costed over Ksh 40 Millionm & nobody said anything about it.
2] Did you know that Uhuru Kenyan used a LEXUS suv in his 2002 elections & that was not a big deal.
3] Do you know that Nyachae campaigned for Presidency in the Year 2002 using his own HELICOPTERS [read plural] & Kenyans did not make any farce about it ?
4] Is it known to you that Tuju use Govt hired helicopters in Nyanza & insults Luos & their leaders & we never read it in the head lines ? Remember it is tax payers money[including yours].
5] Did you know that Raila did not use his money to buy the Hummer ? Let me remind you that the Hummer was borught by one Don Bosco Gichaba[Gichana] who happens to be a non Luo & is on record to have said it himself in rally in Kisii.
6] Lovodo's Nyundo --- One Kakamega Narc-K activist has a Hummer & campaigns with Helicopters & nobody bothers & Why ?
7] Oliech's Hummer--- One Oliech owns a Hummer & he is just wished off.

What I am saying ?

1] There is nothing wrong with Raila using an expensive car
2] There is nothing wrong with accepting an expensive gift
3] Others have done more extravagant shows & nobody talks about.

Why do people talk about Raila a lot ?

1] The Press --- basically the do business & anything associated with Raila sells.
2] Charisma --- there is too much talk about Raila because of his Charisma which all the contenders don't have.Kenyans have had just a handfull of politicians with charisma & they include:Jomo Kenyatta,TJ Mboya,Jaramogi,& Raila.

Slogans,

It is known that slogans creat themselves & this time round "NYUNDO" is the winning slogan,last time it was "UNBWOGABLE",in 1992 it was FORD.This is the truth "UPENDE USIPENDE." Thank God Raila did not creat it.

Kolonzo shutdown

Someone already told you that Raila has no control of ODM-K supporter & they are smarter than you think.It is known by all & sundry that Kalonzo has over a long period of time been the black sheep in the ODM-K & made life difficultt for the party & should they loose their cool,then Kalonzo should be blamed & thank God that was neither Nairobi nor Kisumu[Raila home turfs].
Last but not least.How come Raila & Ida's African attire is the centre of attraction in Kenya ? Are they the only dignitary family who dress like that ?
Abanyo don't be cheated by cheap politics of Railaphobics.
