Uhuru rewrote more than Odinga role

There was something else quite odd in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s speech in Machakos on Mashujaa Day apart from the editing out of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga from the Independence struggle list and his son Raila Odinga from the list of the second liberation heroes. PHOTO: COURTESY

There was something else quite odd in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s speech in Machakos on Mashujaa Day apart from the editing out of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga from the Independence struggle list and his son Raila Odinga from the list of the second liberation heroes.

Given that Uhuru and his speech writers could not have failed to see that the two names were missing, it can only have been a sadistic and unfortunate case of historical revisionism.
