Last week attack of Raphael Tuju in Kisumu while on campaign trail shows us how sycophancy in certain regions have derailed and killed democracy.

Why is it difficult for other presidential aspirants to walk freely in areas considered Raila's stronghold.

What if Raila was the president,how will his supporters behave.

They were simply fighting for their democratic rights. I do not understand why this simple fact seems to escape so many of us.

and i knew sycophancy will unfold in the thread.

I never meant RAO asked anyone to throw stones but I asked a very honest question that "why is it difficult for other presidential candidates campaining in areas considered Raila's stronghold"

This does not mean the thugs were incited but sycophancy drives them to act in hooliganism. We has seen such ugly acts before. All what we are saying is that every presidential canditate is free to visit any area in this country. From Mandera to Liboi to Mombasa,to Kisumu,to Lodwar.

There is no excuse for hooliganism but why do people obsess about RAO and see his hand every where? Give the man a break he can't be that omnipresent and I doubt he even gives a damn about Tuju's candidacy.

Even your bluntest tool in the shed can tell Tuju knew this was a strong possibility, the Luos on Kisumu streets are likely to see him as being a traitor politically/hired spoiler. He has no strong base or launchpad from where to launch any meaningful candidacy, so why would he bother, unless he is a hired gun. This is what is pissing people on the streets. They should arrest the stone throwers but hang on they never arrest Gor supporters so.....To prove it's pure a mwananchi affair send Martha, PK or even Uhuru to Kisumu to campaign and you will be surprised they will be very welcome.

Lets turn the coin how many times has Martha - a very credible candidate been stoned or heckled in her constituency ever since she announced her candidacy, how is that you guys don't bring a similar thread 'WHY I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR UHURU'. This is pure tribal chauvinism. I bet you chances are much higher Uhuru could be having a bigger hand in Martha's stoning than Raila has on Tuju. Everyone knows Jango's love stones and are fanatical on their causes, we have seen it at Gor games as well. Would one say RAO is the one who sends guys to throw missiles at Gor's games?

Kyuks are not know to hurl missiles but for some reason there are some at Gichugu....

And who told u it was done in his name,the residents of kisumu who threw stones did it for their purposeNKT
