On record
Ssabassajja Mutebi has never publicly rather privately stated that Uganda is
under a dictatorship. He has never publicly rather privately stated that
Museveni is a dictator.
Just on record.

WBK, and fellow Ugandans,
I think under a dictatorship like the one we have in Uganda whereby the
NRA/M7ism and some quantity tribal Ugandans continued to holds freedom thinking
Ugandans hostage!
But where freedoms of thought and values are respected and exists one needs to
be bold like RAO to tell off his brothers and sisters to see beyond tribal
chauvinism.
YES, there were so-called ethnics majority DP oriented square gave power to the
NRA/M7ism on the silver plates, but today after some 29 plus years they - the
so-called ethnic majority Ugandans have not brought their infamous silver
bullets to removing NRA/M7ism!

Mr. Pojim:
I believe what you see is South Nyanza standing up to say no more Odingaism.
Now there is talk that politicians from Luo Nyanza will form another party to
promote their interests.
I have nothing against RAO. It is the facts as reported in the media. There is
trouble for real and RAO is feeling the heat.
Let us wait and see.

WBK;
So the Luo MP's who are insisting that the Sec. Generalship is the preserve of
the Luo are right? I am scratching my head on this one my friend.
Let Onyango-Oloo stand for Parliament and see how popular he is in Luo-Nyanza.
Do you still remember Raphael Tuju?

Mr. Nekyon:
Watch what will happen to ODM. RAO has a history of destroying and not building
parties. Well the fight was over the Party Secretary Genera's post. Many Luo
MPs were adamant that the SG had to come from Luo Nyanza. It really doe snot
matter because ODM is dead. RAO should read the times. I can state
categorically that he will never again come close to the coalition he built in
2007 and last year. It is tending towards the obvious. Actually Luo Mps are
right. They can read the times.
FYI, the Secretary General for TNA, the party of UK is Mr Onyango-Oloo from Luo
Nyanza. He may as well end up in cabinet should the cabinet be expanded to 22
as it may happen in the near future.

Secret ODM talks that forced MPs out of race
By GEOFFREY MOSOKU and JAMES MBAKA
Nairobi, Kenya: A meeting in Nairobi on Tuesday between ODM party leader Raila
Odinga and youthful MPs from Luo Nyanza capped a flurry of consultations that
sealed a deal on the forthcoming party polls.
The meeting took place at a Nairobi hotel between 11am and 2pm prior to the
announcement by three Luo Nyanza MPs withdrawing their candidature for posts in
party polls scheduled on February 28.
It was the climax of a series of meetings Raila and his close allies had with a
perceived ODMbreakaway faction of MPs from his Luo Nyanza backyard who had
insisted on contesting the seats.
The Standard established that it was after these intense negotiations that the
so-called Young Turks met Raila at a Nairobi hotel on Tuesday to officially
communicate to him their acceptance to withdraw their candidature.
MPs Millie Odhiambo (Mbita), Sylvance Osele (Kasipul Kabondo), David Ochieng’
(Ugunja) and Kenneth Okoth (Kibra) were among those present at the talks with
the former Prime Minister.
Alongside MPs Ken Obura (Kisumu Central), John Mbadi (Suba) and Augustine Neto
(Ndhiwa), the group had fashioned themselves the Young Turks agitating for
change of guard in the ODM leadership.
ANNOUNCED WITHDRAWAL
After the meeting, the MPs headed to Parliament buildings where Obura announced
his withdrawal from the race for the post of secretary-general.
Obura told The Standard that he had agreed to withdraw his bid because of party
interests.
“I have been approached and talked to and after wide consultations and
soul-searching, I have decided to step down because the party is bigger than
any one of us,” said Obura.
Mbadi, too, quit the contest for the position. He said his decision had been
informed by the fear that the ongoing tribal debate could polarise the party.
“The information in the media made Kenyans have a negative attitude to the Luo
aspirants and I therefore feel that my candidature has been compromised by the
wrong perception,” Mbadi said when he announced his withdrawal.
Veteran politician Dalmas Otieno (Rongo MP) also threw in the towel.
The hardline position taken by Luo Nyanza leaders that the region deserved key
posts because it is the bedrock for the party’s support was viewed as
antagonising other regions.
Sources said Raila was adamant they had to give up their quest for the
positions.
Last week Raila met some Luo Nyanza MPs at the Karen home of Karachuonyo MP
James Rege where deliberations centred on the community’s place in next month’s
elections.
A Luo Nyanza MP who attended the night meeting but declined to be named said it
was resolved that leaders from Raila’s home turf should not contest top
leadership positions.
This was after a section of ODM leaders warned the campaigns were playing out
to be a Raila succession battle.
“The PM told us that none of the Luo MPs would be allowed to contest party
positions and whoever would not toe the line risked being branded a rebel, and
you know what being that means,” the MP told The Standard.
It was after the meeting that some of Raila’s close allies, including Nyando MP
Fred Outa and Raila’s wife Ida Odinga, were dispatched to personally talk to
the faction led by Obura.
Raila’s brother Oburu Odinga (nominated MP) was also assigned to persuade
veteran politician and Siaya Senator James Orengo not to vie for a party seat.
But former Nairobi Mayor George Aladwa, who is contesting the organising
secretary’s seat, defended Raila from allegations of forcing aspirants out of
the race.
NATIONAL IMAGE
“What you are seeing is democracy and the party leader is committed to ensure
the election outcome reflects a national image,” said Aladwa.
Yesterday, impeccable sources indicated that Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero was
under intense pressure to also quit the race for the vice chair’s slot.
But it was not clear whether Otieno Kajwang’ would also be asked to step down.
An MP from Luo Nyanza said they “had decided to quit the race and allow Jakom
to have his way” as the ex-PM had made it clear ODM was not a Luo party.
However, Ugenya MP David Ochieng’ denied claims they had met Raila or had been
directed not to contest any seat.
He said the decision by the likes of Mbadi and Obura was informed by their
desire to see a cohesive party since their candidature was perceived to cause
divisions.
“You in the media have been reporting that the Luo are demanding certain
positions and this was casting a negative image on the party and after
consultations we said we can build the party from the grassroots without
necessarily being members of the national executive,” said Ochieng’.
The agitation by a section of Luo MPs, among them the Young Turks, had set up a
contest with seasoned politicians some of whom were key players in the
formation of the Orange party.
