National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has asked the US and other Western nations to help Kenya come out of the current political crisis.
Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Headquarters in Washington DC on Thursday, Raila said there is still hope to save the country. “I have come to Washington to convey a very simple message. We need engagement with many arms of government (US) to help find solutions to the problems Kenya is facing because I am convinced that all is not lost. Kenyans are asking for a fresh and credible election.”
Raila took a jab at the international community and accused it of abandoning Kenya in its quest of holding a credible election. He said US and other democratic countries approved a “deeply tainted election”.
“Kenya is heading towards being axed into dictatorship and your envoys have not succeeded in making things better,” he said. “Let me blunt again…envoys have sometimes contributed to the problem. IEBC said it could not guarantee credibility of polls but envoys in Nairobi said ‘proceed’.”
He added: “The west created leaders such as Mobutu Sese Seko because they cared only about fighting communism during the cold war. Now they will support anyone as long as they support the fight against extremism and terrorism,” he said.
Raila decried attacks on the Judiciary and attempts by the state to take control of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). “After the bodyguard of the Supreme Court’s Deputy Chief Justice was shot, the other judges did not feel safe and their request for enhanced security was declined. This led to lack of quorum in a ruling that would have probably stopped the election,” he noted.
“IEBC was undermined before the election and the judiciary fell under attack after CJ David Maraga nullified [Uhuru’s] election. This was a trend-setting decision in Africa and other continents.”
He lamented that Kenyans from the minority communities are increasingly getting frustrated by the dominance of two communities, who have held the presidency since Kenya got independence 55 years ago. He said this was the reason secession debate was gathering pace in Kenya.
“When you start hearing people talking about secession, of wanting out of project Kenya, it means there is something wrong. Unless the issues are addressed, they will tear the country apart,” said Odinga.
“All of this progress is been imperiled by our current crisis triggered by the third straight rigged elections. The regime wants to hold on to power… let me be blunt, Kenya is hurtling towards an outright dictatorship, the Jubilee government has looted every institution in order to achieve goal of long-term control of the state to at least 2032.”
This idiot thinks the…
This idiot thinks the outside world do not see what he is doing.The change that Kenya needs is to let you retire honorably and leave the kenyans alone.Raila is the problem and soon will be solved.A very big hypocrite.He incites and move aside to say it’s people’s demand.
First of all, you are…
First of all, you are request is meaningless since it is to the Center of Strategic Studies (CSIS) and not to Mr. Trump. Trump is the president and he does not have time for sole losers. Throwing your wild tirades to the international community that they have abandoned Kenya is a non-starter. They have abandoned you due to your foolish, greedy, and tyrannical behaviors. Your head should be examined; you just keep cooking up things that have no foundation. Actually, the international community should have arrested you because of your terrorist leanings.
Fake Joshua go and blame…
Fake Joshua go and blame your guerilla terrorist leader Orengo for misleading you to skip the election on 26th. Uhuru tena tano no mkate boflo. You look so foolish when you tell the West to help you while they know you skipped the election on 26th. Trump does not want a rebel terrorist in his country. Good you are in Washington, DC near NSA so that they can monitor you as a terrorist.
Crying WOLF when things are…
Crying WOLF when things are finally getting back to normal in Kenya. Oh gosh laying himself bare to the colonial masters and former slave owners. Please please. Oh minority communities are suffering like the luos and luhyas. I thought NASA was claiming Luhya are the Majority now? That makes the two tribes in question minority tribes.Such a disgrace and embarrassment to all Kenyans. Shut your mouth move to the forest, you will never be president. Crying for nusu mkate. Bure kabisa.

I will give it to you Joshua Kony, you know how to blend a couple truths with a load of outright lies and falsehoods and BS and deliver it in the vaguest form to create an impression of a crisis which you yourself have fomented and you being the biggest contributor.
And still find a way to exclude your own insane contribution to the made up crisis, while placing blame on your competitors, diplomats, institutions, anyone who crosses your path. However well you put it, there is this small phrase in your speech, “What Kenyans are asking is something small – a fresh, credible election” betrays your real intentions- nusu mkate is what you yearn for.
Again borrowing from your speech, “The rascals would always be thrown out by the people!”. Get this in your impenetrable brain – the rascal has indeed been tossed out. He has just refused to go away; but not for long now.
@MaragA- The funny bit is he…
@MaragA- The funny bit is he assumes the folks there do not read or have some kind of knowledge on what Kony has been upto. And it is true , when anyone does not agree with Rebel Kony, he is labelled an enemy and has to be dismissed. Kenya is not in a crisis, only Raila and there cohorts seems to be in a crisis. The last time I checked 7.4 Millions Kenyans spoke and have now resumed their daily activities. Kony on the other hand and his rebels + cult members have woken each day with delusions of crisis created by themselves. He wants to make it sound so dire like Kenya is Somali or Syria. Meanwhile Trump is enjoying Sushi while listening to Yo yo ma 🙂 . And in the senate its all about Taxes and Obama care 🙂
Everybody can see what is…
Everybody can see what is happening in Kenya, Raila’s NASA resistance movement is not making sense and they have lost legitimacy,it’s not that all the western envoys don’t understand Kenyan politics the are following, go back to the country and wait for your fate, Kenya has a constitution, America know that, it has a parliament, America know know that and it has a president. We don’t need America to tell us what to do.its Kenyan who will determine their destiny.so go back to the Kenyan people and engage them.you tried to subotage the economy, you demonstrated everyday and now your in the US. All this moves are not working, go back to the drawing board. Engage Kenyan in a peaceful manner.

It was a pity watching this old man beg white folks to help him become the president – very pathetic – The old man stood and lied for 30 min to the Congressional staff (cooks, drivers, messengers etc) – then he will come back to kenya empty handed – i really pitied him – all the hair dye and makeup ain’t working anymore, he looked every bit his true age – anyone who truly loves raila should serioulsy tell him to retire.
He has graduated from fake…
He has graduated from fake Joshua to Jeremiah of Lamentations. Everyday lamentations, lamentations, lamentations
@Anonymous: Njungua is this…
@Anonymous: Njungua is this young boy who caused an accident somewhere in Boston driving while drunk. Now in the cause of the accident a state highway police officer was killed, the young Kenyan was charged with murder and he is still in jail but his bond has been reduced to $200,000.00, so watu wa nyumba need to pay $2,000.00 to get his drunk ass out of jail while he awaits trial.THEREFORE wacheni matusi ya Raila mind one of your own.
@MBINGU – ret us do this…
@MBINGU – ret us do this mathematics .. are you saying bond is $200,000 … if you convert to ksh that is 20,000,000 … hiyo ni 20 million bwana … kwaria-ma hata kama njuguna ni baba yangu siwezi mtoa – mbecha taishio ngashionera ku mwathani wa iguru .. wacha akae ndani iwe kama nursing home – mayangai ndigemuruta ..
I bet you anonymous did the…
I bet you anonymous did the math by converting the bail money to bags of cement. The math simply wasn’t adding up so poor njuguna will have to continue being a guest of the state.

kwani kuna hesabu ingine ya kufanya – in central we don;t sell fis – hapa ni kujenga ploti kila mahali – tu-besitter twingi kama panya – KSH 20,000,000 will buy you 31,250 bags of cement kwa muhindi after thouroughly bargaining .. each bag of cement is 50kg .. kwa hivyo in total you get 1,562,500 kg – wewe hebu fikiria how many lorries you need to carry that … that is 156 FH lorries kama imejaa – wacha njuguna akae huko ndani – naskia america jela kuna tv na gym na wanakula mayai boiro.

The western nations must understand who is Raila ONDINGA and his terrorism and a coup dating back to 1982 and must be treated as such
Can someone tell me what…
Can someone tell me what crisis there is in Kenya ? like serioulsy, what crisis is there that raila is begging white pple to save us from? iko nini
Raila going to US to…
Raila going to US to complain in country whose 44 out of 45 US presidents were white males and nobody was out in the streets violently opposed to it is rather ironic. Barack Obama become President becasue he worked hard to win the trust and respect of white Americans who voted for him in great numbers to make him president since the black vote alone was not enough to make him president. If Raila goal was to be President of Kenya he should have worked hard to win trust, respect and endear himself to Kalenjins and Kikuyus to win their vote instead of demonizing and alienating them and then go crying to America about not getting their votes. Sonko has perfected that model very well for he was elected Governor of Nairobi by a cross sectional of tribes, many rejecting candidates from their own tribes.
@AnnaMumbi, please copy and…
@AnnaMumbi, please copy and paste this in every Raila posting cos his supporters DON’T seem to get it. You explain it VERY well. I hope one day they will come to terms with this kind of reasoning and look for a leader who will appeal to all and not use tribalism to gain votes.

Hard work is foreign to the likes of Raila and Akombe… when they cannot use their chests to get what they want, they run to their neo-masters… ready to enslave their own people. Shame RAO, shame!

Bail for Njuguna is actually…
Bail for Njuguna is actually $200,000.00, so in the U.S you pay 10% of the Bail amount so in Njuguna”s case watu ya nyumba need to pay $20,000 to get his drunken ass out of jail. My appollogies for the math mistake in my earlier post

Imagine Raila’s NASA henchmen Orengo,Wetangula and Mudavadi called a presser among the dozens they hold each week also presided by RAO only to rebuke western diplomats in Kenya with specific focus on the American ambassador to insult him and collectively for interfering with Kenya’s affairs.
The mouth piece Orengo even boasted they have no interest going to a hurricane and inferno ravaged America of mass shooters…only for their “Kony” to make this disgraced tour to literally beg.
