Quote: Mr. Odinga has appointed himself the Convenor of Saba Saba and invited Uhuru Kenyatta and his Jubilee team with a rider: Jubilee leaders can only attend if they agree to a predetermined agenda, leadership hierarchy and outcome. Raila complains about a return to totalitarianism when President Kenyatta hasn’t done anything to restrict his freedom, yet I cannot even visit my village in Nyanza without Raila’s goons trying to kill me.
What Mr. Odinga is demanding isn’t dialogue. He knows that no one can agree to such warped terms. A genuine national dialogue cannot be conducted by fiat. One person cannot dictate to and threaten the entire country. Important issues of (in)security, tribalism, corruption, disunity, devolution, “electoral bias” and “amendments to the constitution” – if those are truly Raila’s concerns - can be discussed or resolved without intimidation. Raila has the right to make demands. He has the right to organise as many rallies as he wishes. However, if Raila wants to lead a revolution, he should say so and refrain from cowering under an innocent word such as dialogue.
