SECRET POWERS RAILA GOT FROM HIS FATHER

Kenya’s prime minister Raila Amolo Odinga is a man who has had more downs than ups. And as the title of his biography, Raila Odinga; the Enigma of Kenyan politics suggests the man is truly an enigma and just when people thought he had written his political obituary, he managed to rise like the proverbial phoenix form the ashes baffling friend and foe alike.

More questions than answers are asked concerning this man, some of them include; How comes that Raila unlike other politicians was not finished by former President Moi? Why does the Luo community totally believe in him.? How did he manage to get back into power after many thought that Kibaki had finished the Jaramogis? Will he finally rule Kenya? Did he inherit secret powers from his late father, jaramogi Oginga Odinga?

A research carried by this newspaper over the prime minister Raila Odinga carries the legacy of his father, Jaramogi.

The constitutional amendment in parliament that created the posts of prime Minister and deputy premiers brings to mind the role of the family of the vice-president, Jaramogi Oginga.

Odinga, in shaping the country’s political destiny.

Until his death, Jaramogi a fearless and charismatic leader had put two presidents under intense political pressure, forcing them to make desparate constitutional changes.

And as if reading from his father’s political script, Raila has also put pressure on president Kibaki and forced him to make far reaching constitutional reforms.

High placed sources told this writer that when jaramogi was about to die, he called his son Raila and gave him secret powers of the Kenyan political chessboard. On top of that he nicknamed him Agwambo, which in essence means one who can slither under a rock when a situation demands and bear his fungs to attack at an opportune time. The late doyen of opposition politics also put his son under the Luo council of elders.

More information in our newsroom indicate that the Luo community totally follow Raila because he (Raila) derives his powers to govern through the Luo council of elders. Every more Raila makes in the political table is what the council of elders tells him to do. The man does not make his own decisions. For example this writer discovered that Raila never wanted to go for a presidency in last general elections. He was commanded to do so by the Luo council of elder. That is why the whole community stood by him. It was a community decision and not Raila’s.

One operative close to Jaramogi family confided to our city time crew that another secret power Raila got was the world Luo network. Through the Jaramogi Foundation and Tom  Mboya, many Luos migrated to various countries in the world. Miraculously Jaramogi maintained their contacts through the council of elders. They were the ones who influenced international support for Raila. On top they contributed to Raila’s campaign fund last year. In fact Raila inherited so many secret powers from his later father only Uhuru Kenyatta is Raila’s greatest threat.
