Writes Leo Odera Omolo In Rangwe,Homa-Bay.

Nyanza youths were told at the weekend to mobilize themselves into various lobbyists groups and mount an elaborate campaign to ensure that the ODM leader Raila Odinga score an outright election victory over his rivals during the impending general elections.

They were also urged to go out flat and reach their counterparts in the neighboring regions and districts with goodwill missions of persuading hem o support Rail Odinga’s presidential ambition.

Addressing thousands of mourners at Nyakwadha Primary School in Kawuor village East Gem Location,Rangwe constituency within Homa-Bay County , Hilary Ochieng’ Alila who is an aspirant for the Homa-Bay County Senate seat said that Rala Odinga’s leadership credential stands tall above those of his rivals in comparison, and he is the man Kenya nation is yawning to have as the next president.

Hilary Alila was speaking during the tearful burial of the late Francis Okwany Osumba, a Kenyan technician who died in Juba,South Sudan in a mysterious circumstances in which foul play was suspected.

The deceased was the son of a Rangwe prominent trader Mzee Elly Osumba Ombuor. He survived by his widow Mrs Rebecca Atieno Odera Okwany and four young sons all of them still in primary schools.

Prior to moving to South Sudan where he was working as a technician, the late Okwany had taught at the various institutions an employee of the TSC, first at the Kisumu-based Ramogi Institute of Advanced Technology {RIAT} ,Rift Valley Polytechnics and Kitale Technical School

Alila told the mourners that Raila Odinga’s leadership credentials stands tall above those of his rivals I comparison. This is a clear evidence hat the country is yawning for this man to be the successor of President Mwai Kibaki.

Under an ODM government the unbecoming habits and practices of looting taxpayer’s money will be safely guarded against the looters and economic saboteurs and get-rich quickly racketeers and lootings of the national resources would be the things of the past. And so is corruption. This is because Raila Odinga is a true reformist. The war against abject poverty will be intensified to ensure that every Kenyan poor or rich had the right to enjoy the fruit of independence.

There will be the pragmatic policy of ensuring fair and equitable distribution of the national cake. There will be no selective groups earmarked for economic marginalization and even the currently marginalized communities would be brought on board. There will be no discrimination in the distribution of national resources. The war for the eradication of poverty will also be intensified

Alila cautioned the audience that s the election days are ticking closer,are likely to emerge cartel of prophets of doom, and political demagogues and hirelings hired by their invisible masters for the purpose of spreading dreadful and sugar coated lies against the Prime Minister by those politicians who have formed amorphous tribal alliances such as G7 not to win the presidential election but for the specific purpose of blocking Raila Odinga fro being elected the next president of the President of the Republic of Kenya.

He told the mourners, however, not to worry s the god isn’t with those rushing into forming tribal alliances to balkanize Kenyans”Because the God is no in heir favor.” An God willing he truth will prevail over the pack of their dreadful the lie and Raila Odinga will triumph

Alila urged those youths who have yet get their identity cards to rush and “take queue at the registration center and get their national identity card and use them in registering as voters during the forthcoming voters registration exercise. Use the voting cards as your best weapon for fighting to for the genuine reform and true democracy as 0ppoed to hypocrates and anti-reformist who are hell-bent to defend impunity and fight of their status quo”. It is a big shame that one family in Kenya is single handedly owning a large tracks of land which is twice bigger than Nyanza Province, while thousands of lands Kenyans are rotting and living under squalid conditions in IDP camps”.

Such leaders should surrender small fractions of their ill-gotten tracks of land to he government for re-distribution to the poor and landless Kenyans instead of running errand seeking for presidential votes.
