ODM not a paragon of virtue

Sang,
It doesn't matter if I am a kikuyu or a Kipsigis. What you should
be concerned about are the issues that I raised. calling me Mungiki or
Gema is not going to help you answer the issues at hand.
You defended Ruto saying that he is clean. If Ruto is not corrupt
then nobody else in Kenya is. Or may be we should redefine corruption
as a crime that is carried out by those not in our camp.
Let me jog your memory starting from the most recent. Remember
when Ruto, Mudavadi, Kalonzo and Raila were to attend a bonding meeting
in London? Only Raila and Magara made it to the meeting. Ruto and Mudavadi
stayed out saying they had not applied for travel visas while Kalonzo said
that the meeting was planned to declare Raila Tosha.
So why did Ruto have a hard time getting the UK visa? Because he
had a case in court for grabbing forest land and then "selling" it to Kenya
Pipeline.
Do you remember what Ruto and Jirongo's roles were in the 1990-1992
plunder of the economy in the name of YK '92?
What about our next VP Musalia Mudavadi? He is restricting his
movement to the borders of Kenya because he was involved in the Goldenberg.
Only Raila is traveling abroad to raise funds for the party since his
mates cannot travel to most countries in the EU, and the USA.
A few years ago Raila asked Mudavadi to come clean on the G'berg
saying: "Musalia and (President) Moi know the whole truth about
Goldenberg and they should come out clean.
Mudavadi was the Finance minister in 1993. He first paid out the
Sh5.8 billion in export compensation and then the Sh13.5 billion. I
know what I am talking about. I stand for the truth and the VP
and the President should come out and prove me wrong."
Mudavadi is yet to come clean on the same.
You said that you were not born yesterday so you must know about
the ODM-Raila Chairman Henry Kosgey. Kosgey was part of the team
that brought in Dick Berg to execute the 1997 "4th All African Games" looting.
You may remember this face:

Dick Berg, marketing consultant for the
4th All Africa Games in 1987, who fled the country with Sh200 million
even before the games had began.

The same Henry Kosgey brought down a number of parastatals. Is
is well known for milking Kenya National Assurance to death.
You said: "WHEN RAILA TALKED ABOUT NDUNGU LAND REPORT
MOI SCREAMED HELL! LIKEWISE, KIBAKI CRIED WOLF BECAUSE THESE GUYS
KNOW THAT THEY STOLE, FAVORED SOME WHILE SUBJUGATING OTHERS,etc"
You emphasized your point by capitalizing all letters. Read the
sentense again then read these news reports that shows how fast Raila
rain to court to block any action on him regarding the land that he received
5 days after NDP joining Kanu. Raila paid 4M for 240 acres of prime
land in Kisumu. That is about sh16,000 per acre! i know
many Kenyans who will invest if they were able to access land for a song.
Raila's threats over the Ndung'u report are cheap rhetoric. This
is not the first and it will not be the last of hot air. Raila will breath
hot air to maintain his opposition paragon of virtue image but deep
down he is just like the rest of our politician.
Raila's main strength is his mastery skill of telling the masses
what they want to hear and when they want to hear it. The problem is that
there are some elephant "memoried" citizens in Kenya who will catch him
when he contradicts himself. Such citizens can tell the genuine from the
fake.
My last reminder to you is what Raila told the masses in RV in
regard to Moi's loot:
"I came to Moi’s aid when the Government wanted to take away his
houses and sue him over Goldenberg during my days as the Minister for
Roads. Moi should be grateful. I organised his first meeting with Kibaki
at State House. He should thank me by not attacking ODM unfairly"
Raila claimed that soon after taking
office, President Kibaki’s government had wanted to sue Moi over
the Goldenberg scandal and even throw him out of his Kabarnet Gardens
residence but he objected.
"I was censured at the Cabinet
meeting for fiercely defending Moi but as then Minister
for Public Works, I said Moi still deserved to retain his Kabarnet Gardens
home," he said.
So Ndugu Sang', one doesn't have to
be a Kikuyu to see that the difference between ODM-Raila and PANU in dealing
with corruption doesn't exist. ODM-Raila should get a new campaign platform
since they have no moral authority to talk about recovering the loot
when they have not handed back to us what they stole. The only hope ODM
has is stiring enough anti-Kikuyu sentiment so that the voters can vote
against a tribe and not issues.
