Gachagua Should Go To Kang’o Ka Jaramogi To Have His Big Dance on Raila Odinga’s Grave

Everyone knows that Rigathi Gachagua is the most deranged politician ever to invade Kenyan politics, and people expect his madness and ugly tribalism to be part of his life and everyday politics, which has now overtaken and practically grounded the Kenyan opposition, whose job is to cheer him every time he makes a fool of himself and all of them.

What most of us did not expect is that Gachagua would prepare for a whole week writing statements as he told Kenyans that his wife Dorcas was typing for him, and that the biggest part of it would be on how nice for him to give Kenyans his biggest dance on Raila Odinga’s grave to entertain himself and fellow opposition leaders.

Of course, Gachagua and all those with him in their United Opposition are thrilled that Raila is gone now and they will never have to face him on the ground as one of the most effective political leaders ever in Kenya.

The 2010 Kenya Constitution that opposition leaders today keep praying over as their new Bible was only made possible when Raila went to war for it from 2002 to 2010 and fought like hell against Kibaki’s failed plots to stop Kenyans from having their new constitution. Raila Odinga won that war, with Kenyans voting 67% for the 2010 Constitution. Now that Katiba is part of Kenya. That is Raila Amolo Odinga for our country. No politician is going to take that away from Kenyans and their reality.

For the crude politicians like Gachagua who think that dancing on Raila’s grave is their best bet to win 2027 elections, it might be helpful to remind them that Raila Amolo Odinga actually has a family in Kenya. Raila did not drop into Kenya out of space like a rocket.

The most well-known member of the Raila family in Kenya is his wife Ida Odinga who, unfortunately for those who want to fight Raila in his grave is still alive.

Gachagua, who never bothered to attend Raila Odinga’s funeral as he was busy celebrating his death in Wamunyoro has never uttered a word of condolence to Ida Odinga and the rest of the Raila family. That is expected and very normal from someone as crude as Gachagua.

In fact, Gachugua is now saying the entire Raila Odinga family starting with his wife Ida Odinga was a big part of the plot to kill Raila and dispose of his body fast, as he was buried within 72 hours after his death and the family did not stop that from happening.

It is really cruel for the family to have to deal with this kind of aggression from big time politicians, but Raila’s family will be just fine as they have always been facing life as it happens.

“Kenyans want to know what happened to Raila Odinga,” Gachagua said and nobody knows which Kenyans Gachagua has been to talking to about Raila other than his fellow opposition clowns who are cheering for his outburst to abuse the Raila Odinga family.

He questioned claims that Raila’s doctors were denied access to him in the final hours of his life and that instructions from his personal medical team against travelling were allegedly ignored.

“Why were the doctors of the late Prime Minister denied access to him in the last hours?” Gachagua asked.

“Why were instructions of Raila’s doctors ignored that Raila shouldn’t travel?” he added.

Gachagua also questioned the circumstances surrounding Raila’s travel to India, including the use of a private jet and the medical team that accompanied him.

“Why was a post-mortem not done on Raila? Why was he forced to go to India on a private jet?” Gachagua asked.

He further questioned the identity of the doctors who accompanied Raila to India, saying they allegedly travelled against the instructions of Raila’s personal doctor.

“Who are these doctors who accompanied Raila to India against the instructions of Raila’s personal doctor?” he asked.

Gachagua also raised questions about Raila’s burial arrangements, citing the former Prime Minister’s association with Luo traditions and customs.

“Raila Odinga respected Luo traditions and customs; how could he indicate that he should be buried in 72 hours against all Luo traditions?” Gachagua said.

“These are hard questions that Kenyans want to know,” he added.

This is the same Rigathi Gachagua as Deputy President who took over state security during the 2023 Saba Saba rallies organized by Raila Odinga and the opposition against Gachagua’s boss and Gachagua plots all that time was to get Raila shot to death or blown up by security bombs and they tried that many times.

Here was Raila Odinga’s vehicle he was using in a Saba Saba rally on July 7, 2023, which was bombed by Gachagua’s thugs and poor Gachagua must have been dancing his ass off thinking he had finally killed that dreadful man to him called Raila Odinga. Sadly for Gachagua, Raila survived the direct hit on him and his car.

Now Gachagua in his big speech to the whole country is mad that Raila’s family and his friends finally managed to kill the man he tried so hard to kill and failed every time.

Gachagua wishes that he had a chance to strangle Raila to death with his own hands and now he has nothing to show for that never mind that even at 80 years old which Gachagua used to yell about, Raila could probably have kicked Gachagua to the mud and leave him crying there.

So Gachagua spent his entire time as DP trying to kill his nightmare Raila Odinga and now he is angry that somebody else did what was supposed to be his job to earn him the glory he dreamt of as the one who took Raila’s life.

Why didn’t Gachagua talk to Ida and other Raila family members whom he believe are the Raila killers to help him do the job he was so desperate to accomplish.

The good thing about the whole debacle by Gachagua and his United Opposition is that the Raila Odinga family is very strong and they have been all along as they have dealt with the security attacks, imprisonment, detention and exile for Raila after his own father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga spent his own time in jail and house arrest.

Nothing scares that family and least of all a desperate impeached freak politician who is just waiting for his grave as his next big assignment after they lose everything they are desperate or in 2027.

Rigathi Gachagua is pretty much the last person the Raila family would even bother to deal with. He is a piece of despicable garbage to them and they will leave him down there sinking in his own vomit and he can enjoy that all he needs and share that with Kalonzo and others.

United Opposition is now super desperate for anything that could make them even remotely relevant to Kenyans and it is getting very hard for them. Kalonzo Musyoka himself fighting for political relevance at the same level with Gachagua attacks on the Raila family, came up with his 2027 manifesto and the agenda he will implement and it is pathetic in in every sense possible.

Take one example of the most important thing to Kenyans which is healthcare. Kalonzo plan is to get rid of the current SHA for healthcare for Kenyans and also get rid of NHIF.

What is Kalonzo promising to develop to help Kenyans get their healthcare? Absolutely nothing. That is not a joke. Kalanzo Musyoka’s healthcare plan is all about what he will eliminate while implementing nothing at all.

Is it any wonder that this opposition groups with zero idea on anything for Kenyans would rather dwell on having another round of war on the Raila Odinga family. What else can they possibly do for the country?

Kenyans can see all that and the Gen Z voters they have been praying for are too smart to drag their country into the Gachagua madness and clueless opposition.
