Submitted by wuod_aketch Posted July 20, 2011 11:18 AM The Luo Council of Elders is an outdated outfit. (even when you are being asked to see the light, you close your eyes harder) I wonder how being in such or such a party will bring progress to the people. People are free to join the parties they wish and this has not changed since the multi-party system was established in Kenya. Let no politician cheat Kenyans, they will not put ugali on their tables. The majority of politicians are parasites of the society who have cultivated ruses using sweat talks to ride on wananchi's backs.

What our brothers from the lake side are avoiding to say is that the region has been forced to support one individual from the region without being given a second option. Not being in ODM is seen as a betrayal to the community. If you don't toe the Raila line, you are kicked out. That is being retrogressive as it does not allow for competitive politics. Its like Luos are still stuck in old KANU single party system where any divergent opinion is silenced by all means necessary. So, instead of dismissing Nicolause here, put in constructive criticism. NST, MC, and others from the lake side should give others a chance to express themselves even if they sound strange.

@Njunge Where is Martha? No mention whatsoever?

Also, if I were UK and Ruto, I would be concentrating on how to avoid being a cellmate with Charles Taylor

Whether is RAO, UK or Ruto the fact remains that come 2012 we will definitely have an election Run off. I don't think anyone will come close to the 50% target.
