Vijana Na Raila (Vinara Mashinani Lobby) up to today and six months down the line is stalled and stands dissolved. Since it was started we have spent many cyber hours spinning arguments and debates in favor of Raila Odinga and ODM, in forums, side street debates and different platforms we have remained firm and consistent in pushing an agenda we was convinced of and that we really believed in...... Bringing together grassroots Champions of CHANGE together so that they can give solidarity and support to Raila Odinga candidacy! A man who incidentally has been isolated politically by the g-7 strategy through political zoning and effectively giving an impression and image that he controls Luo Nyanza only! We attended several meetings and we gave my honest and genuine contribution of ideas and otherwise! We have done my part and I seek to move on in further pursuits
The other bit that made us make such a decision, let us remind you just in case you don't know we officially quit Vinara-Vijana Na Raila yesterday at a press conference held at the freedom corner after great and in depth reflections, consultations and evaluations OF VINARA PROGRESS AND THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN MACHINE OF THE PM which is in constant wrangles day-in- day out. We did it in good faith and gave notice to my fellow comrades in Vinara, but what is even more interesting is we resigned and quit VINARA enmass as a TEAM therefore effectively dissolving VINARA MASHINANI LOBBY.
The following individuals who held different Offices at Vijana Na Raila (VINARA MASHINANI LOBBY) resigned from their respective positions effective from yesterday;
1. John Kipkorir –National Chairperson
2. Immaculate Mwende- National Vice Chairperson
3. Sam Shem Otoyi- Secretary General
4. Chacha Maroa- Organizing Secretary
5. Catherine Nyaga- Deputy Organizing Secretary
6. Teresia Mumbua- Deputy Director
7. Sam Okello- Director of Operations
8. Kenneth Kirimi- Director of Logistics
9. Francis Sakwa- Director of Communications
10. Winnie Mandela- Director Student Mobilization
Vinara Mahinani idea was great and noble by any considerations, but such great dreams die as usual if taken up and put in shelves in high offices. We don't blame the PM but those people that surround him and block or broker always all such great initiatives but in whose interest? Can’t the PM realize that at times you simply have to shake off networks AND VESTED interests surrounding him? But he has to organize his campaign machine better
We came to understand that those who always kept us at bay are close business associates who work with the PM in his private companies like spectra international and keep watch of his business interests while others are individuals who even at times owned up and prided to us that they made clean money from the maize scandals which really baffled some of us! We thought that was a thing that happened then and we thought that should not be an issue to us. We simply wanted to focus on the campaigns of promoting the PM for President come 2013. Little did we know that the same corruption networks have vested interests of making business out of Raila Campaigns and effectively they actually proved strong enough and frustrated all our efforts of trying to make VINARA MASHINANI work and execute its mandate? Raila is surrounded and held hostage by frenzy feeding sharks of new appetite corruption individuals.
The very hope that Kenyans had in a reformer is really not there at all in fact if there was any just check on his record of performance as PM and OPM Kenya and the line ministries that are under the control of ODM in the coalition government! This include; Ministry of Land, Ministry of Roads, Ministry of Planning & Vision 2030, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Higher Education, Ministry of Immigration and Registration of Persons, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Co-operatives, Ministry of Water, Ministry of Public Works, Office of the PRIME MINISTER…….Can you rate them and show us the radical reforms they sing every other day!
