Violence at Raila Rallies in Western not Planned by the Jubilee Government

The local media in Kenya, as well as the social-cum-digital media are all awash with stories about Raila Odinga blaming the incumbent government for influencing the youths in western province to protest with violence against his rallies. Raila implies that president Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Mr. William Ruto are the master planners of violence that has rocked his rallies in western Kenya. He is wrong, These allegations are not true, the fact is that the youths from the Luhyia Nation as well as any other voter in a compos mentis station from this Luhyia nation will not vote for Raila Odinga without necessarily being influenced by any external force but out of their political rationality against the frivolous culture in the political camp of Mr. Odinga.

By making above baseless claims Raila Odinga is only doing his usual politicking like the ones he did sometimes ago around the presence Arthur brothers in Kenya. He often does this type of stuff to look like a political squab so that he wins public sympathy translatable into cheap votes. Facts are that, at that particular time of violent protest against Raila’s rallies in western province was the same time at which President Kenyatta was busy in the UNCTAD conference at Nairobi; he could not get time to degenerate into some political baseness like the one Raila Odinga is alleging.
