SECRET CABINET PAPERS

How Kenya’s best kept secret became a hotbed of insurgents

By John Kamau

Dateline: Saturday, December 12, 1964. At around 3 pm, just as Kenya turned into a republic, the newly sworn-in President Jomo Kenyatta’s convoy drove from State House, Nairobi to the flag-decked Thika Road to officially open what he described as "Kenya’s best kept secret" and Jamhuri Day’s "big surprise" – the so-called Lumumba Institute. He didn’t know it was a communist school of politics designed to topple him.

Forty years later, questions are still asked about how the new Vice President, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, managed to trick Kenyatta to approve a plot to topple him. It was a move that not only left top schemer Tom Mboya dazed but also confused Kenyatta’s inner circle — composed of Mr Mbiyu Koinange, Mr James Gichuru, and Dr Njoroge Mungai.

And when they realised what had happened they threw senior Chinese and Russian "spies" stationed at the institute out of the country. Others simply disappeared....

......It’s a complicated family......

No more than typical American black clans where it is unknown weather a man is your father or your uncle.

Are the Kenyan Islams forbidden to use Hussein Osama's middle name?

Could be one of bill’s kids.

"What IS salient here is that Obama has chosen to campaign for Odinga and endorses the man and his agenda."

So, Hussein Obama is already conducting foreign policy in, let's see, Canada, Ireland, Middle East and Kenya.

Nope. He says he’s black. Just like the actress, Holly Berry. When she got the Oscar, all she could do was talk about her blackness. With her white mother sitting there. Her black father beat the hell out of her white mama, but she is so proud of her blackness. Just like Osama Obama is. Of course, he is not as black as Rev Al. He has not been down for the riots.

[cake_crumb]

Great, Obama’s cousin is an Islamist tyrant and Obama supports him?? I wonder what part Obama’s father played in overthrowing Kenyetta - Odinga would be his nephew, right?

[cake_crumb]

WHo are all those people?

Class and kinship in Kenya’s killing fields

Oduor Ong’wen

In this second and last part, Oduor Ong’wen argues that ethnicity is a drug that the ruling elite in Kenya keep administering to their victims to cloud their vision

It is safe to assume that if it was any of his other five opponents that had won the elections, Kibaki would have no problem handing over to them – but not to one Raila Amolo Odinga.

The reasons for this may be found in the platform of his campaign and his personal history. Odinga’s campaign was anchored on five planks: addressing economic and social inequalities; devolution of power and resources from the centre to the regions in the context of subsidiarity; eradication of corruption and administrative injustice; state provision of basic social services; and pursuit of a progressive Pan- Africanist and Foreign Policy.

In a country where neo-liberal policies have found a very fertile ground, it was quite brave for Odinga to declare from the rooftops that he was a social democrat and would faithfully pursue a social democratic agenda.

The first line of attack was that Odinga was trying to introduce communism through the back door. Scaring mongering that provision of free basic social services would mean increased taxation also did not wash. Kibaki’s supporters finally latched onto the pain factor – land.

They demonised devolution of power as a recipe for dispossessing the Kikuyu people who had settled in the Rift Valley and elsewhere. This worked for members of the Kikuyu community but not other Kenyans. It is therefore not surprising that members of Kikuyu community from rural areas, regardless of whether they lived in their ancestral regions or not, voted for Kibaki to a person. Only young urbanised ones were able to see through this diversion.

But the biggest worry for the ruling elite was Odinga’s anti-corruption stance. On September 22, 2007, he declared that there would be no blanket amnesty for former heads of state and that both former President Daniel arap Moi and Kibaki would be called to account personally for their improprieties. This announcement came barely two weeks after it had been exposed that Moi and his family had allegedly stolen public money to the tune of Kenya Shillings 130 billion ($2 billion) and stashed it offshore.

Wielding of or proximity to state power has been the main avenue of primitive accumulation of wealth in Kenya. All those who lay claim to being indigenous bourgeoisie in Kenya trace their wealth and status from state connections. On this score, concentration of power at the centre has been particularly beneficial. Odinga’s devolution, anti-inequality anti-corruption package was therefore seen by the captains of politics and industry as going against the natural order of things.

Odinga’s personality and history did not help him either. From the onset of the campaign, Odinga did not refer to himself as a candidate. He simply declared himself “The People’s President.” Odinga cannot claim membership among the proletariat. He is not a peasant either.

Nor was his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. In fact, although born to a simple school teacher, Odinga grew in relative privilege as his father abandoned teaching when he was still in his early teens, built a business empire and quickly plunged into nationalist struggle for independence. Odinga Senior was so passionately anti-colonialism, anti- exploitation and charismatic that it was almost automatic for him to be named Kenya’s Vice President at independence.

The senior Odinga was anti-imperialist. During the struggle for independence, he opposed the exploitative economic system the colonialists had erected. The colonial government accused him of being a Communist to which he retorted:’ “Communism is like food to me.” He was quick to establish Kenya nationalist movement’s fraternal links with the then Socialist bloc and as a result, many Kenyans benefited from educational scholarships. Among the beneficiaries was Raila Odinga, who studied mechanical engineering in the then German Democratic Republic.

But Raila Odinga began charting a path for himself much early in life. As a student in the then East Germany, he took the initiative to establish an international office of the opposition Kenya Peoples Union (KPU), a left-leaning opposition founded by progressive nationalists and headed by his father.

"“To refuse to do so ignores the will of Kenyans..."

Sure Barack Hussein Obama, the 90% Christian population really, really REALLY wants Sharia law imposed on them and their religion banned.

[cake_crumb]

"Denounced as a forgery by Odinga and Muslim authorities in Kenya, which it almost certainly is, that document nevertheless still circulates via the Internet and is quoted by American publications"

Denounced as a forgery by a crook and tyrant. Ok. Now where's the proof.

[cake_crumb]

It scares ME that there are so many Obama apologists on this forum. It scares me MORE that Obama appeared to be calling for riots during a recent speech and everyone’s ignoring it.

[cake_crumb]

Obama supports a guy who keeps trying to overthrow the government.

go to obama’s family here.

[cake_crumb]

She’s really his step-grandmother, but Barack Obama calls her “Granny.”

Ah HA, so that's the token "granny" he uses for photo ops!

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

You could have done without the teen girlish "OMG!!!" nonsense. You look silly and I almost eexpect you to say "OMG!...Obama's first cousin's father took orders from Soviets/Red Chinese!!!...heard if from my BFF Jill!

Thanks.

Playing the role of a self-defined language police is childish.

whatever became of KingJaja?

King Jaja of Opobo (1821-1891)

Born in Igboland and sold as a slave to a Bonny trader at the age of twelve, he was named Jubo Jubogha by his first master. He was later sold to Chief Alali, the head of the Opubo Annie Pepple Royal House. Called Jaja by the British, this gifted and enterprising individual eventually became one of the most powerful men in the eastern Niger Delta...

...King Jaja's downfall ensured a victory for British supremacy, paving the way for the eventual imposition of the colonial system in this region by the end of the century.

It really doesn’t matter whether he is blood related to Odinga. The fact that he went there in 2006 to campaign for him speaks for itself.
