The fiery Miguna goes on to say:
C&P
The second substantive dialogue issue is the introduction, planning and
implementation of a democratic leadership culture and
mechanisms for leadership transition in Luo Nyanza. This
entails inculcating and promoting an egalitarian culture that
will encourage, inspire and support leadership based on
fundamental values and qualities such as integrity, hard work,
transparency, accountability and collegiality.
Luos - who were once the envy of Africa by the way we
robustly exercised internal democracy in all decisions affecting
us, vibrantly debated all pubic issues, and actively engaged in
diverse productive endeavours in academia, the professions,
the arts, science, technology and business enterprises, have,
for more than thirty years now, been reduced to artefacts from
antiquity. Our economy has been at the ICU for close to 40
years
We no longer inspire local institutions of higher learning, trade
unions, student politics and intellectual discourses with
insightful ideas and rigour. We cannot provide leadership
because even our council of elders have been handpicked by
the Paramount Chief. No Luo – educated or illiterate – seem
willing or able to engage in anything substantive without the
approval of the Paramount Chief. We are nowadays best
known for political and soccer hooliganism; not intellectual
prowess, logical rigour or democratic practice. This situation
must change.
