In 1964 before Kenya became a republic, jaramogi persuaded KADU leaders to join KANU for one party unity hoping that “an augmentation of strength would ginger up the party and, most important, would end disunity and tensions among the people so that united energies could be harnessed in the building of the country.
“jaramogi later admitted in his book (Not Yet Uhuru) that he calculated falsely. What followed was a corrupt authoritarian one party dictatorship.
Jaramogi fought consistently for over a quarter century before multiparty politics was allowed in the country. What was the fate of the well intentioned KANU/NDP cooperation and the MoU? Think carefully before embarking on persuading Kenyans in general and your support base in
particular that the institution of opposition is not necessary today in Kenya. Reflect on the African proverb “a man bitten once by a snake is unlucky: a man bitten twice by the same snake is a fool”.
Do you listen to Queen Babito (Haki Yetu)?
