Folks,
What is PM Raila waiting for ?………Why cant he be seen to do the right thing, fight for peoples rights and practically discharge his Responsibilities and Duties in line with the New Constitution now….???…….If failed to dispatch Funds for “Kazi kwa Vijana” for the intended purpose and effectively determine the Reform Agenda in the change we all want, to include effective Devolution of Counties, Who will trust Raila with people’s livelihood and survival? Who will give him another chance for him to send us to our Death-Beds……???
We are sick and tired of being taken for a ride and for granted… It is time we breath fresh air with renewed energy. Raila is a spent force with unreasonable mentality that of “It is Now Our Time To Eat”……. rather, A New Broom Will Sweep Better………

Raila pledges to follow new law

Prime Minister Raila Odinga took his 2012 presidential campaigns to central Kenya on Sunday.
The premier’s convoy made stopovers on his way to Kutus town where he was to preside over a funds drive in aid of an Anglican church.
Accompanied by his wife Ida, Lands Minister James Orengo, Kiambaa MP Stanley Githunguri, and former Attorney General Charles Njonjo, and Royal Media chairman, SK Macharia, Raila said he will be guided by the new Constitution as he discharges State duties.
He said the Constitution provides for the rights of all Kenyans and no one should fear settling any where in the republic.
“Kenyans are free to settle, own property, marry or do whatever they wish anywhere as guaranteed in the Constitution,” he told the faithful.
On the 2007 post-election violence, Raila invoked a popular Kiswahili proverb; “mtego wa panya ulingia walikuwemo na wasiokuwemo (the violence hit its instigators and the innocent).
He said never again will a Kenyan rise against a fellow Kenyan as he will ensure that national cohesion prevails.
Raila said he has all it takes to take over after Kibaki going by the development pace that has prevailed upon the nation since the two joined hands in building Kenya.
Mwea MP Peter Gitau, who is said to be allied to the G7, and his Gichugu counterpart Martha Karua skipped the fundraiser.
Ida challenged women to come out in large numbers to seek available seats.
“Under the new Constitution, the sky is the limit for women come the next General Election,” said Ida.
Orengo said the nation requires fearless, selfless leaders like Raila.
“I have no doubt in my mind that Raila’s presidency will be enjoyed by all Kenyans irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds,” he said.
At the venue, ODM supporters donning the party colours escorted Raila in style.
They sang in praise of their leader and led his entourage into the venue as wild cheers from the highly excited gathering rented the air.
He said there was need to expand Kenya’s economy so that the country can compete effectively with other developed countries.
The PM also spoke against excessive drinking in central Kenya, saying it was a major drawback to development.
