LETTER TO RAILA ODINGA

By David Wakogy

"Good morning Sir? I hope this finds you well. You have spent most of your adult life fighting for a better Kenya - Canaan. You were thrown into the detention and became the longest serving political detainee in Kenya. You are among those who midwifed democracy in this country in the name of political parties pluralism, led the country in getting a constitution by the Kenyans for the Kenyans.


Whistleblower

Mr. Odinga you have always been the most conspicuous whistleblower when things go wrong in this country and you are no doubt a true leader and a patriot. You are an institution of social democracy and equity, no one can ever get that honor. Among the eight Presidential candidates, you were no doubt the one who has suffered the most fighting for a better Kenya, you have given so much to this country and many generations including my own, you have sacrificed so much and lost so much in the quest for a better and prosperous country. Of course you have had your share of blessings and no one can wish away your efforts and dedication.

Joshua and Caleb

Mr. Odinga, its true you could have been a political messiah for for Kenyan people, to redeem them from the political bondage of one party state but however, while you were at it, as you were still seeking the route to Canaan in the wilderness of political misery and frustrations, God raised a new generation of leaders; Joshua and Caleb. True that Moses never lived to see the land that he had longed to enter but he however saw it from the mountain top. This is different for you Mr. Odinga for as Uhuru and Ruto (Joshua and Caleb) have taken this country into the economic Canaan, you have had the honor and divine grace of seeing it with your own mortal eyes and seeing the beautiful  dream of a better Kenya unfold.

Transfer of Power

The leadership sceptre transferred from your generation into a new generation and it would be frustrating and bitterly so if you keep on chasing it. The energy and the vigour that once defined you in your clamour for a better Kenya has also been transferred to UhuRuto generation therefore appreciate the generational transfer of power and be grateful that you are a respected remnant and that Kenya is far much better than when this journey started.

God bless you, God bless Kenya and may He merit your life with longevity and good health as you see your children, grandchildren and your grandchildren's children living the dream you had for a better country in the hands of a generation of leaders who took over from your own. Thank you".
