We must continue educating our people to embrace democratic culture. That is the only way to ensure a civilized society for all. Those who still hold the opinion that their survival in this country/world is dependent on their tribesman/woman holding the presidency should understand that that is never the case. As for selection of leaders, I would to put it to the likes of Millie/Erick that the people must be left to choose leaders for themselves at all levels!

Okinda,
This is very sad of you my friend.I do not want to support anyone here on Nyanza leaqders being selected or elected but I would like to make it clear that in some areas selection has been done for people of Nyanza and the reasons behind this one can only get if you have the historical background of the happenings as Milly rightly puts it.
Okinda I dont think there is anyone in this world who goes into politics without vested interests. The Luos as a people have had to contend with not being wanted from the previous two successive governments for the simple freason that they were not willing to join hands with Kenyatta initially when he wanted Jaramogi to join him in eating. then Moi came during Jaramogis time and more seriously during Raila's time. The reason our leaders from Luo Nyanza thought it wise to be selecting leaders was solely to protect the interests of a people being trodded on by the so called those in power. In a scenario where it was left for people to decide,there ended up a situation where those electede are bought and they change tone once in parliamnt then sing along with those hatred messages which most of the time were directed at the Luo. You remember Tuju,Aringo,Omamo(Late) and others. I still beleive that until now this new constitution taKES EFFECT AND WE REAlise its gains then I would still ask Raila to go ahead and chose for us leaders in future as a people from Luo Nyanza.
Okinda on this please leave the Luo people alone.

Tell it as it is! We are not going to use words to pretend that things are rosy when they are not. I come from luo nyanza and I can tell you without fear of contradiction that for the last four general elections, we have been voting en-mass for the political party fronted by Hon. Raila on a three piece basis. It has not mattered for the electorate whether a candidate for civic/parliamentary seat obtained his party ticket fairly or not. This has given room for some individuals(not necessarily Raila) to manipulate the process and get unpopular individuals to parliament/civic wards.
Personally, I experienced the ugly part of this politics when I offered my candidacy for ODM SECRETARY GENERAL last year. I paid all the necessary fees, campaigned in all the provinces only to discover during the delegates conference at Bomas that some select names were to be read for various posts without voting. No voting was ever carried out so those occupying ODM national posts are a bunch of individuals without mandate from the voters! I challenged any of them particularly the outgoing secretary general to contradict this position!
Now that the new constitution stipulates that all elections must be by secret ballot, we expect ODM to hold its national elections as soon as possible. The message is that no political party will participate in the 2012 general elections without legally constituted office.

I am not a politician and I do not want to be a politician. I have already politicians from my family tree and I know what politics is, so me I have chosen a different line: I advice you to leave begging people like Raila to help you jump into parliament. You are a biter man who have failed I do not know how many times to go to parliament and it looks that your last hope was Raila and when Raila did not give you the TOSHA word he gave Kibaki you are now hitting almost every corner for revange. Just a minute !! by the way when you wanted Raila to give you Tosha word what were you thinking?. Is that not the wrong things you are now criticising below here . In other words you are just a patient in denial or what?. I must have missed the diagnosis thanks for clearing the air. If the ODM party is such a joke why can n` you form another party with Ruto I hear you are friends even in conversation privately. Look at even how you reason; what the hell are you going to do in parliament with such mentality?. Infact one chap in this forum said that most of the Phd holders are the worst leaders who can not even lead a company, I thought he was joking but now I do support him. Be worried when most people agree with you but take more care when everybody is against you,especially your posting below here:
Paul Nyandoto
Post-Referendum and Party Discipline After the much-talked about referendum was over, Kenyans in all corners of the republic of Kenya breathed a sigh of relief that after all the name calling and finger pointing, everything went peacefully. That's what Kenyans have been yawning for. It's therefore in order to congratulate those who spearheaded the YES campaigns and equally congratulate those who championed the NO crusade. Democracy requires that people hold divergent views even though they may come from the same party. It's against this background that a considerable number of Kenyans find it rather odd that the ODM party is calling for a disciplinary action on members of the party who had expressed contrary views to that of the party. I have said it many times that the referendum was not a party issue but rather, a national issue that required thorough reading, understanding and proper interpretation on how the new law will impact on your life and that of posterity before casting your vote. The call for disciplinary action by ODM is therefore na?ve and borders on ignorance – it negates the very essence of a referendum; it's a call that flies with its filth in the face of democracy yet it's emanating from the very party which touts itself as the custodian of democracy in Kenya. I think ODM need to borrow a leaf from PNU which also had critics of the constitution but it's now water under the bridge. There was no winner or loser in the referendum. We need to tolerate and accommodate all the views as a young democracy. We might think we are instilling discipline yet we are just destroying our party.
ODM as a party has been on a self-destruction-path just immediately after signing the national accord that paved way for power sharing. Most MPs in ODM lack proper judgment; they are intolerant and; are not ready for rational discourse. This attitude by mostly Nyanza MPs has alienated many supporters of the party from Coast to Kisii; and from Rift Valley to Eastern. Surely, how does ODM expect to get any national following after descending on all their support bases with such vehemence? Someone needs to advise the party that you cannot expect to run the party like "buch jodong aich" (baraza la miji kumi) and expect Kenyans to provide support again. That can only happen in Luo-Nyanza where people go with any euphoria and recollect themselves later after electing bad leaders. As a person from Nyanza, we need men and women who can transact business on our behalf with others from other communities – not characters who are hell-bent on alienating us from the rest of other Kenyans! The hard-line positions being taken by some Nyanza MPs indicate that majority of these leaders badly need civic education. Some of these leaders are highly learned but lack education on how democracy works. They should understand that people will always have different opinions in a democracy and that is why Kenyans have been fighting for more democratic space in the country. It's a pity that Nyanza leaders were at the forefront agitating for democracy in Kenya but a visit to my Nyanza backyard will tell you that Nyanza believes in a One-Party dictatorship – our people don't believe in democracy! They called president Moi names and all sorts of epithets – but they are stuck in a one-party dictatorship. In short, our people have not understood the meaning of multi-partism! If they believe, you would have seen different results in the just concluded referendum. Anyone doubting my assertions only need to check the way Nyanza voted compared to the rest of the country (even the Rift Valley which was the strong hold of NO), and you will agree with me that a lot of civic education is needed in Nyanza. Nyanza has many good leaders but our political culture (the culture of patronage and intimidation) has not allowed these sons and daughters of Ramogi to provide acceptable leadership. It's the same bad political culture that some leaders are trying to export to the national politics. ODM will soon become a Luo party if some Nyanza leaders are not tamed!
