ARE RAILA’S SUPPORTERS HONEST WITH HIM ON MAJIMBO DEBATE ? 

September 12th, 2007
 
  Apart from Rutu,Balala, Muadavadi $ Nyaga who are working tirelessly to
educate the voters on the importance of Majimbosm as means to fetch votes for ODM in this coming general election 2007.

  It is unfortunate that some group of opportunists are hanging on Raila's coat
for favors, these masqueraders follows him everywhere with very little impact to bring about the most needed support for ODM to realize his objective of winning election.

  We have received a serious complained on one schemer living here in Canada in border crossing business to USA exploiting the genuine diaspora supporters,
imposing himself as the gateway to support the ODM cause, these group are very angered with the new fundraisng strategy on line at www.raila07.com, for they have been short change by high technique ODM campaign tools depolyment.

  We would want to send alert warning to all ODM supporters that the so called diaspora aspirates had failed to meet the requirements and financial obligations recently requested by ODM Secretariat for just ended ODM conference
.
  They are now planning to fly back with Presidential Candidate Hon Raila
Odinga, masquerading to have been the organizers of his visit in the diaspora,
please ignore them. Kindly note those who supports ODM have less ambitions in running for political offices in Kenya but have devoted their life to bring
about economical  change through Majimbism for our motherland.

  We still want to ask some of the questions we asked sometimes back:
 
  Are those surrounding Raila honest with him? Or are they just a bunch
sycophants, shameless opportunists and indiscipline politicians, only interested
in winning elections posts and getting appointments in case Raila became the
next President?
   
  Why are we receiving mixed signals from the so called Raila’s die hard
supporters both here in diaspora and in Kenya on the serious Majimbo debate?
 
  Someone may wonder whether these groups are genuinely supporting his political philosophy or whether they are just interested in how they can smartly misuse him to get favors to win elections or obtain public appointments once he became Kenyan fourth President.

  Why are these groups not backing the Majimbo call? Raila has stated publicly
in his campaign appearances to Kenyans and the world that his government will
re-introduce Majimbo. He even publicly Incorporated Majimbo in his Presidential launching recently in Nairobi.
 
  Are these Raila’s supporters? Or they just schemers with no compassion for the state of Kenyans? Or is Raila playing political gimmicks with Kenyans just as Kibaki gave empty promise to Kenyans about offering new constitutions within 100 days in 2003?
