No taxation without Development

I have recieved some very encouraging and inspiring messages and phone calls from jowa across the world.

I have a passion for politics, and am, besides being a business man, a politician, elected LDP Chairman in Komarock. Am also running the ODM-K Show here, and will be voted in as a Councillor next year.

Thats what I want. Kose ok wanyal kawo telo matindo tindo gi bende?

I manage Oto Seekers Tours and Travels, a car-hire company. If you are coming to Kenya, or your friend is coming here, just get in touch and I will arrange for you a vehicle right at the airport on arrival.

I also manage Oto Octavian Investments, which deals with shares and property investments. This is open to jowa te. Ka idwaro invest e Kenjwani, just get in
touch and Oto will take over and make your investment as you do other things. The burden of daily management is thrust on our shoulders. Okuche timo ma!

As for my craze, sama orero oriwore dwaro telo, there is no tribalism. Sama oyiedhi oriwore dwaro telo, there is no tribalism. Sama onjelo otudore dwaro telo, there is no tribalism. Sama Kombo kod Jirongo riwo waluche mondo gikau telo, there is no tribalism.

But sama oganda wa temo mondo waket wiwa kanyakla mondo wane ni watimo nade, then wan tribalist. Ati we must portray a national image! This is nonsense.

We must throw this attitude away and go for national leadership with a bang. We must rally all our troops behind Migosi Raila, mondo en wamiye thuolo mar dhi kisera oko. But wan nyaka wa rally oganda wa tetete mondo okau opande, okau ombulu, to chieng' goyo ombulu, nyaka oganda wa wuog tetete mondo godhi gigo ombulu.

Kata ka ok ng'ato dwar Councillor kata MP mare, dhi inyum ombulu mar President ni Amolo wuod oganda. Mano e injili manyaka wayal ni jothurwa. Kendo un jogo man oko, ka igoyo dwondu piny matek, to oganda wa man
Kenjwani winjou mokalo. Koro nyaka unyis jowa man dala kaendi mondo gitum tim.

Odiero manene owacho ni united we stand, divided we fall ok ne ofuwo. So nyaka wadhin telo mar piny with a bang, without any apologies. it is our unity that will give us national leadership.

It is a fact that all other tribal unity, be it Kikuyu, Luhya, Kamba, Pokomo etc does not rattle anybody so much as the percieved Luo unity. But in unity, therein lies all our strength. We must take it and talk all our Kenyans colleagues into accepting and voting for Raila, not because he is Luo, but because he has stood farm with Kenyans as he led from infront in the struggle.

When he has been fighting for the good of all Kenyans, why was he not looked at as a Luo? We must hence not look at him as a Luo, but we must know that he is a Luo, and give him, unashamedly, all that support that he needs.

The time to mobilise is now if we want the presidency. We must not wait for tomorrow. We must preach our unity now, preach voter registration now, so that those who do not have the documents, can go get it.  This we must do now, and do it with impunity.

If Kombo and Jirongo can preach Luhya unity in broad day light, if Michuki can say in broad day light that aftre one of their own has become president, then what are we scared of telling Raila to go get the presidency.

To katek, to pod wan kod options. We also pay taxes like all Kenyans do. So why must we beg? Or be scared about preaching our unity?

As we campaign for the presidency, we must also demand our share of taxation manifested in development. If not, we develpo a maxim, 'No taxation without
development'.

All said and done, do your bit and hook up all Luos to the common course. Do it without shame, and do it with all impunity.

But remember, political power is maintained by economic power. So invest here. Talk to Oto Octavian Investments.
