Poor governance of Kenyatta & Moi made Odinga`s family a hero in luoland

Kenyans,

We have heard a lot in this forum, some have been accused to be anti Raila or pro Raila, pro Odinga`s family or against etc. Some have been accused of practicing tribalism,  or Raila`s defenders, some also have gained a lot through Raila. Some were promised things by Raila but never fufilled hence they keep on posting malacious accussations in this forum. Some are also defending Raila hoping to gain from him in future.  But ladies and gentlemen we have to draw the line somewhere. After some pondering and reading a lot from this forum, I would say that there is nothing wrong with political attitude in luoland or Nyanza. The voting of the new constitution supports my thinkings. Here is a society which have tried all the last 45 years and plus to change the political trend in Kenya; the politics of tribalism, corruption, politics of rewarding friends and members of the leaders tribe, unfair development; where other provinces have more than others even in schooling, roads, pure water and upto the most important thing life and death. Guys the health system in our country is not evenly distributed upto today. In Kenya today there are provinces with higher death rates than others and if somebody speaks about that he is  accussed of practicing tribalism or a Raila supporter.

During the confused  45 years and plus the luos  hoped that the situation would come to a swift and happy resolution through a new constitution. But if you look back why the luos have kept with Odinga`s family please read also the story of Robin hood of Nottingham or Zoro. In spite of the obvious difficulties the luos experienced, inspite of luos losing most of their highly educated politicians through the guns of   Kenyatta or  Moi they never lost hope. Kenyatta and Moi indirectly made Odinga`s family a Robin hood or a Zoro of luoland. Their politics towards the luos made the community to integrate into a follower into whom they saw hope, or a leader who gave them hope. Brave and somebody who could stand for the tribe and speak of the ills befalling the province. The non luos or some luos who do accuse luoland that politics in luoland is made by one family have little  brains of thinking. what I know is that the people most likely to get on in this world are not always the most intelligent. It is often those who stand up and when the need arises, push to the front of the queue for the things they want. The Odingas saw the the political situation in Kenya and capitalised on it; BUT what makes the situation worse is that both two presidents Moi and Kenyatta never had good intelligent advisors to reverse the dependency of luos on Odingas family. They played all what only favoured the prosperity to the family.

With the death of Jesus Christ, christians increased world wide very quickly: Why? , the Romans who cruciffied Jesus did not expect that, but they made Jesus also famous. Even when Christians new very well that you can not go to heaven without dying first,( even Jesus died first)  this did not bother people and more followers of Jesus emmerged( christians). The present christians will tell tell you that they are not afraid of death, but they just do not want to die yet. On the other hand, they just do not want to die today: life is very good and nobody wants to die before enjoying, Luos are no exception on this. Remember they are just as humanbeings as other tribes.

 What I know is that in  the end what matters is not whether people like the conclusion, but whether it is true and if so, what can be done to solve the problem?. Unfortunately there are no easy problems to solve, so the Luos might behave very differently if the political situation in Kenya does not hurt them; Remember heros are sometimes even forgotten in future.
Thanks folks:
