It seems like Raila Odinga will always hear about and be in close proximity of the promised land. However, he will never be allowed to cross the river and enter into Canaan. That’s a tale as old as time and goes back decades now.
Odinga has sought after this prize and the title of the Presidency since the 1990s. He has used all sorts of coalitions and running mates to get there. Nevertheless, his cause, his parties and allies haven’t pulled through.
That’s why Baba is like Moses. He was walking in the desert for years and God never allowed for him to enter Canaan. That was for Joshua and his generation. It wasn’t meant for Odinga and his kind to get to the State House.
He is now rallying for Azimio and the coalition partners he has still. Many has left the fold and signed off to the Ruto government. Some of his former allies are even silent and not even vocal on his side. That’s compelling really… especially, since he exhausted the election petition and lost the case. Not like he managed to get Fresh Presidential Elections in 2017.
Alas, here is the burden and the plight of the old man. He is fighting the same battle and same cause. Using same sort of rhetoric and means. Instead of going after Kibaki. His speaking ill of Ruto. In the past he went after Uhuru Kenyatta too. So, he has sought after them all and no matter what sort of Electoral Commission was there. It had to be reformed and changed, because no one understand democracy better than him.
That’s why Odinga is on a war-path against William Ruto. Just like was against others. The ODM leader and Azimio Presidential Candidate continues his persistent fight to get to office. However, it seems futile and especially after losing in the Court. He got little substantial proof and the evidence submitted wasn’t giving him any relief. Therefore, his Kibra Declaration seems far-fetched and only self-serving.
At this point in time, his selling himself and his own entitlement. The Azimio and Baba the Fifth was run on vibes. That’s why it crumbled and couldn’t sustain the pressure of Kenya Kwanza Alliance. Ruto outsmarted Odinga who was a force to be reckon with. Still, Odinga thought he would win easily.
That’s why his now acting like the winner, yet again. He is trading the same stories and wanting reform. Odinga wants reforms, because his entitled to win. The system is against him and it’s the system fault for his loss. It is never himself or his allies. No, everyone else who is in-charge or run things are to blame.
This is why it’s tiring to follow Odinga. We have seen it all before. He has made deals with Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta. We can just await the time he does so, yet again. At this present time he speaks ill of a handshake. However, when the push comes to shove. He will take it and will negotiate. To become an anointed one and an unofficial Prime Minister. That’s what he can accept. Even if he believes the throne is his…
Odinga will never lead the people to Canaan. His the messenger and the vocal point to get people out in the desert. Though Joshua or someone else will take you there. Baba will not cross the River Jordan. He hasn’t been allowed in the past and I doubt he will be able to do so now. Peace.












“What we had was a coup d’etat. You even saw the chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission run to announce the results as some of his commissioners denounced the outcome, yet he was celebrated as a hero. They cannot allow that to happen anywhere else in Africa” (…) “The international community could not condemn Mr Chebukati’s actions because they knew what had happened. The African right-wing has always been in conspiracy with the international monopoly capital since independence and Kenyans must be prepared to further sacrifice to win this struggle” – Raila Odinga (07.10.2022).
This time around the Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Alliance Presidential Candidate Raila Odinga is going overboard in defending his loss in the 2022 elections. We know the Azimio didn’t prepare or even collect workable evidence to sustain in the Supreme Court. The Odinga Secretariat and Azimio was running on vibes and not directly considering the professional work of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
It is really interesting that a month has passed since the Supreme Court confirmed William Ruto’s win. Now after the fact his coming with pseudo-intellectualism and conspiracies to why he lost. Odinga should be better than this, but he needs to grasps straws, instead of reflecting on the reasons for his loss. There was internal issues within the Azimio, which has been revealed after the August election and it has never been addressed. The Azimio team could have investigated and looked into how it operated. However, it wants to vilify someone else and continue to target Chebukati.
Chebukati is the epic boogeyman now. His the villain and the grand culprit of a scheme to overturn the August election. That’s what Odinga is saying… while his not reflecting on the reasoning, the evidence or the work of Azimio in general. It is like saying Ruto and KKA has no agency of their own. Only Odinga has agency and ability to work on his own. The rest is either part of a grand conspiracy or working for colonial powers. Alas, how can you put these things together now?
Couldn’t the same arguments and reasoning be used against him, if he would have won and become the next President? If he had become Baba the 5th couldn’t the cartels and the dynasties be seen as a part of the “deep state”. So, in this regard his making a lot of smoke, but there is no initial fire.
In this manner, Odinga is actually undermining the authorities and the entities involved in the election. His disregarding the KKA and their allegiance to the Republic. They have now overlords, which they are following and directing them. If it is so, wouldn’t the same most likely have happened to him too?
Since Odinga would inherit the same structures, institutions and international obligations, which the Kenya government have to uphold. It isn’t like he would operate in a vacuum or on a lonely island without any pre-conditions what-so-ever. If that sound preposterous or outrageous, well, it is and this is why Odinga needs a pushback.
I have defended and wished Odinga victory in the past. Seeing the plights and the pleas from him in the 2013 and in 2017. However, the 2022 election was different for me. Both the way the IEBC operated and how it could defend it’s role. It’s like Odinga never moved on from the technical and mechanisms the IEBC has made over the years. That’s why Chebukati is getting such wording his way.
What I would prefer, if any of these things was true. Would be a deep dive from the Raila Odinga Presidential Secretariat or the Azimio team. Where Odinga and his associate could prove the involvement and the conspiracy itself. Until then, it’s just hearsay and alleged allegations that cannot be proven. Therefore, it’s just conspiracy theories.
Yes, there will be multi-national organization connected to the Kenyan government. That being the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, World Bank and diplomatic relations with several of other nations. It is not like that would change under Odinga, who himself has been a part of the African Union as an Envoy. He should know the gist of this… and that’s why his conspiracies are of no good. Especially, when his own petition and evidence didn’t hold up in Court.
Odinga either have to deliver a comprehensive report with valid evidence or just accept the loss. Because, his team couldn’t even get a victory like they did in the Supreme Court in 2017. So, he should know the gist of it. However, this is politicking, but not the good kind. Peace.
