All luo MPs except one was present at the second Lake Victoria Basin stakeholders’ forum. It should now be clear that our own MPs are not interested in tapping the resources avalaible to Nyanza people. Instead they are bent on looking for governement handouts and blaming the government for everything. Let the trueth be told, leaders are supposed to lead. If the MPs are not interested in listening to what is going on around lake Victoria, why should investors care. Who are going to sell lake Victoria potential investment opportunities to the world if our MPs do not give a damn.
I am so dissapointed with the actions of our MPs. The only thing they know how to do is to castigate anything that seem to be anti-Raila.
None of these lot have ideas of their own. For them Raila, ni baba na mama. Without him the sun will not rise or set. If only Raila chose to attend this meeeting every luo leader could have been there. Now that god missed the meeting, all the angels and even the devil could not attend because there was no holly/unholly war. Or is it that there was no photo ops.
Our MPs have not realized that sometimes action speaks louder than words. Nyanza people come together and find ways of developing your own land. Come together and choose leaders with visions. It is time for change.

Subject: Nyanza MPS prefer political meetings to Development meeting
In deed, Shame on them . I was shoked to note that only one MP showed up. I always maintained that any politics that does not aim at putting and sustaining food on family table, education in our children life and health in our constituents is a brief case politics full of handouts. This is 21st. C. …this mentality has to change. Lake basin, if developped can feed the whole nation and such development forum is critical. We at the African Diaspora have decided that we are not just going to hope that things will get better….we are taking the frontline this time to inject new politics that lift community hands up and not handouts.
