  • Jaramogi Oginga Odinga: the Man Kenya Can Never Forget,Once Upon a Dome,Handshake Manenos!,Handcheque Part II,Tinga!,Three Wise
    Jaramogi Oginga Odinga: The Man Kenya Can Never Forget By Dauti Kahura and Bethuel Oduo If Thomas Joseph (TJ) Mboya was the young man that Kenya wanted to forget, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga is the grand old man who Kenya can never forget. Jaramogi and Tom Mboya were both were nationalists of great distinction from the Luo community who as seasoned politicians posed a threat to the founding president Jomo Kenyatta’s autocratic national designs. Tom Mboya died young, by an assassin’s bullet, on July 5, 1969. Jaramogi died an old man, a mzee, at the age of 82 years on January 20, 1994, after having been tormented by both Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi regimes effectively from 1969 after his fall out with Kenyatta and through the 80s and 90s during iron-fisted Moi’s reign. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga death anniversary on January 20th, twenty-five years since his passing, was marked quietly in a manner that diminishes his immense contribution to the Kenyan national project. If Thomas Joseph (TJ) Mboya was the young man that Kenya wanted to forget, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga is the grand old man who Kenya can never forget No history book on Kenya would be complete without his mention. Jaramogi was the vice president of the nationalist party Kanu when Kenya African Union (Kau) merged with Kenya Independent Movement to form Kanu on May 14, 1960. He was later to become the country’s first Vice President, after Kanu won the 1963 general elections under Kenyatta. When his friend Pio Gama Pinto was killed in 1965, Jaramogi knew he was a targeted man because of his ideological position.

Justin Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS PETITIONS RE-ALIGNMENT OF EMBAKASI WEST BOUNDARIES Hon. George Theuri (Embakasi West, JP): Thank you Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the people of Embakasi West Constituency draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Article 10(2) of the Constitution identifies inclusiveness as one of the aspects constituting the national values and principles of governance; THAT, Embakasi West Constituency, Embakasi South Constituency, Embakasi North Constituency, Embakasi Central Constituency and Embakasi East Constituency were hived off from the then Embakasi Constituency, which covered a massive area of 208 km²; THAT, as a result of the split of the then Embakasi Constituency, the residents of Embakasi West Constituency have been experiencing numerous unjustified inconveniences when seeking public services on account of administrative and jurisdictional boundaries due to the location of various public institutions and offices in areas outside the jurisdiction of the constituency; THAT, those challenges are exemplified by the fact that, for example, the offices of the Ministry of Education as well as those of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government still use pre-2010 Constitution boundaries to manage the affairs pertaining to Embakasi West Constituency; THAT, as a result, various regions of the constituency fall under the jurisdiction of different sub-counties, with examples being Mowlem Ward which falls under Njiru Sub-County, Kariobangi/Uhuru Ward which has some of its area falling under Kamukunji Sub-County, Umoja One and Umoja Two wards which fall under Embakasi Sub-County; THAT, in addition, several schools established within the jurisdiction of the constituency fall under other sub-counties.
