Let History Not Repeat Itself

The old ghost of political assassinations in Kenya seems to be rearing her ugly head yet again.

In events that have an uncanny resemblance to those of 1963-1969, Raila has fallen out with the President’s inner circle or the President’s kitchen cabinet. Just like Tom Mboya did shortly after independence in 1963. Tom Mboya is the man who said "Kenyatta Tosha" in those days. He fought for the interests of the masses as he saw the Kenyatta administration slide down into corruption, land grabbing and gross nepotism and tribalism (cabinet members routinely conversed in Kikuyu as they waited for the President to arrive for cabinet meetings.)

There are a lot of similarities between the Kenyatta and Kibaki administrations and mostly not positive ones.

Sadly Mboya did not take warnings to beef up his security seriously. Not even from his American friends who offered more bodyguards. And not even when a policeman fired shots at the empty back seat of his ofdfical vehicle a few months before his assasination. The policeman was later arrested and charged.

Luckily Raila, unlike Mboya, is taking the tell-tale signs very seriously indeed and so are the police. We may not all agree with everything that Raila Odinga stands for, but political assasinations should never be allowed to happen in Kenya again. EVER!! Let history NOT dare repeat itself.
