Welcome Mr. Odero

Interesting idea Mr. Jef Odero. But be warned that you have chosen to wrestle a heavy weight in Luo politics. As to shepherding Hon. Odinga's interests in Luoland, I can only say that Agwambo needs no shepherds in Luoland, at least not in Ndhiwa. He has no opposition in Luoland. Perhaps you meant to say that you are, like myself, part of his choir in the wider Luo Diaspora. In which case, you have a big problem: Hon. Ojode is one of Agwambo's trusted friends. Moreover, Hon. Ojode needs no introduction in Ndhiwa. Is he not the man who brought Edison's wonder (electricity) to every Posho-mill, Secondary school and Clinic in Ndhiwa (forget about the bad road: past MPs will tell you that it is beyond the control of a Luo MP who never ate Ugali in a Nyeri Club)?

Disclaimer:This free advice is biased as it comes from someone who sat on the same desk and hunted rabbits with Hon. Ojode. He is a very good wrestler, though. As we say in Ratan'ga Kosoko, drink a lot of cold milk, because you have a handful before you.

I wish you all the luck Ja Ndhiwawa (I believe that is the right spelling). I think you have a better chance if you convinced Hon. Ojode to keep out of the Race.
