Barack,

Be gracious in your loss like Omtatah was. Another loss is coming at the referendum. That the diaspora needed to vote in 2012 was not the question. The question was whether it was necessary to jump the gun. To put the cart before the horse. No diasporan or organization was consulted. In the EA Radio USA you wanted diasporans to enjoin the case without full disclosure from you. Once a Oronje raised the alarm, no diasporan wanted to be party to the case. Why? because it was obvious the intention was to stop the referendum. Some have said that the intention was to gain notoriety. Make no mistake, there was only one petition from Omtatah and you were part of it. It was denied. Period. We tried to shed light to you to withdraw from the petition, assuring you that logistics were impossible and it would jeopardize your attempt. You would not listen to narry. we tried to explain to you that the judges could not dictate or legislate on that matter. On your part you were adamant. “If the prisoners can be allowed to vote, by Jupiter, Diasporans will!” you said, without understanding how come the prisoners were allowed to be registered. Now we will remember you for one who tried to deny Wanjiku her Katiba. This is your cross, this is the notoriety you sought. It is not a bad type of fame bad notwithstanding the embarrassment. Sure it was a futile attempt. You can try to justify your ‘I, me & myself first’ mentality or you can join hands with fellow diasporans and together realize the sum of such strength. However try and work with people. You do not have to be the leader all the time. Kenya Development Fund Corp, Kenya Relief Org, New Vision, Tallahassee African Coalition, Kenya this, Kenya that you’ve quit! Learn to be served then you will be able to serve otheres without them running away from you in turn. Yes, we still have work to do.
