There is no political antagonism between South and Central Nyanza

Ondiek Kennedy's article in The Standard on September 12, 2023, titled, 'Nyanza doesn't need political kingpins; let Raila be the last', was not only driven by inter-ethnic malevolent intentions, but also laden with baseless propaganda and misrepresentation of facts.

Mr Ondiek should have first consulted scholars of Luo history before attempting to pose as an expert on the imaginary antagonistic relationship between the Luo of the South and their kith and kin in Central Kavirondo.
