BECAUSE IT SHOWS US THAT NOT EVERY MEMBER OF THE PARLIAMENT IN KENYA APPROVES OF THE METHODS EMPLOYED BY RAILA ODINGA AND HIS SUPPORTER, THE THEN US SENATOR, WHICH LEFT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DEAD, CHRISTIANS BURNED IN A CHURCH, AND A QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE DISPLACED IN KENYA AS A RESULT OF THE VIOLENCE!
The Class Issue
It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us in the protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.
Pro-West
It is absolutely essential that through out this campaign, Raila remain aligned to the Western Countries (such as the United States) in order to take advantage of the deteriorating relationship between them and Kibaki. ODM can expect both financial and political support particularly from the United States.
