WHY RAILA ODINGA WILL WIN THE 2017 GENERAL ELECTIONS

Let it be crystal clear that I am not from any big and politically active communities that have long dominated Kenya’s political sphere since independence. In precise, I am from the “other communities”, small and insignificant. I however note with deep concern that the sins of the Jubilee administration are just so conspicuous and will haunt the party come the next general elections.

Over fifty years after independence my community particularly has been politically sidelined until at least the time devolved government sprouted. Most of my folks that escaped the western snare have found themselves guarding gates for the rich and powerful in the city, doing construction and other manual jobs. Even in 2012 when one of my own folks tried his bid on the presidency he was labeled “Shetani wengine” which literally means “The other devils.”
