PRESS STATEMENT FROM NYANZA COUNCIL OF CHURCH LEADERS
COMPRISING OF 200 CHURCH DENOMINATIONS, DO ACT ON
HON. WILLIAM KABOGO’S STATEMENT ON STAR NEWS PAPER SEPTEMBER 14, 2011

WE as the Church Leaders in Western Kenya, Do condemn in strongest terms the outdated tribalism outburst from HON. WILLIAM KABOGO – JUJA MP using a Kikuyu adage, to attack RT. HON. RAILA AMOLLO ODINGA, he cautioned the Voters saying that “If Leadership is taken to Nyanza, they should be prepared to be visiting Nairobi holding their identity Cards with their mouths”.

Hon. William Kabogo has not read the Political History of Kenya, Hon. William Kabogo should know that when Colonial Government restricted Kikuyu Community not to step their foot in Nairobi in 1957 – 1960, it was the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, late Tom Mboya and the late Argwings Kodhek, are the people who liberated Kikuyu Community and removed the plate identification that were given to Kikuyu Community.

In the present Kenya with the New Constitution, that our Leaders H.E. HON. MWAI KIBAKI AND RT. HON. RAILA AMOLLO ODINGA spearheaded, and now we have a New Constitution.

WE don’t need Political Tribal inciters; we are in a new Kenya, let us use the language Kenya, NOT KIKUYU, LUO, KISII, LUHYA, KALENJIN, KAMBA, MASAI, GIRIAMA, DIGO OR SOMALIA, let us bury the language of OUR OWN. We want a Kenya where people can live as brothers and sisters.

In Nyanza we have all business Kenyan Communities with Kikuyu being the majority, and we have no problem with them.

Let us choose and vote for a leader who is a reformist, who can unite Kenyans and take Kenya to a New Level of prosperity.

God bless Kenya.
