Genuinely Disgusted

Dear Ajuoga,

Sure, NOT AGAIN. Six hundred years ago, Podho left his brothers in Uganda. When he journeyed South he thought he was going away from a toxic cesspool of sibling rivalry and moral scandals: a brother trying to kill other brothers and a "great sin of passion." He was also running farthest away from the religious persecutions in the North. Islam had reached the Sudan. But he did not expect that six hundred years later his seed would still be singing "Not Yet Uhuru" in the land of freedom he had handily conquered.

Moi is scheming for another night in State House as a permanent state guest in the name of KANU. Nobody is telling Raila the truth. KANU is united, all those court cases are part of their deceptive battle plan. To prove this, we only need to go back a few weeks back to see the novel invention known as "Packed Ugali" doing the rounds in Kasarani. Message: KANU can buy all the Orange delegates. The so-called Premiership is a Mirage Hon Raila cannot bet on.

It looks to me like we have to go back towards the Sudan. Literally. Why not? Podho traveled South; we have a nascent East African Union and can look to the North; at least circumcision won't be part of the new political calculation there.

Ogwan'g rach ka ool e mo.
