The ODM Party of Junet Mohamed is the reason Gachagua is out of government. This is what he is telling his fellow primitive tribalists in USA.
When ODM leaves Ruto, he told them, he will return to Ruto.
You’ve been saying Gachagua is a “truthful” man so keep the flow. He said it openly that if Junet and group leave government, he will return! On his way out he’d also hinted he’s open to ‘talks’ with Ruto.
To Gachagua, Ruto is today bad because he brought ODM to government.
Remember Gachagua berated Ruto for dissolving government after the Gen Z protests in 2024. He keeps mourning that decision. To Gachagua, the government should not have been dissolved. Worse, when the dissolved government was reconstituted, it now had ODM elements from all over Kenya, including the Luos!
It is like the Kenya of Delamere when white settlers were doing everything to block Indians from participating in government only for the Africans to pull up for the party, with knives and pangas, and stop the reggae!
We keep telling you all the time that the reason Gachagua fell out with Ruto is because Ruto embraced Raila Odinga and Luos (ODM) – a political sin unforgivable by any primitive tribalist avowed on oaths!
Gachagua and his minions were so obsessed with keeping Raila out that they found themselves out. Kasingaliweka mitego mingi, kasingaliumia yeye!
Within ODM, Gachagua is willing to work with certain people but unwilling to work with others. He says he can deputize Sifuna but when he meets Hon. Junet Mohamed on a plane, he rejects even a greeting. To him, Sifuna leaving ODM is just like a ‘cousin’ returning home.
Junet Mohamed, on the other hand, represents the terror that exists in Gachagua’s head. The terror of defeat.
Junet reorganized ODM politics around Raila to have the party participate in government.
Junet also represents something else: he is a symbol of what ODM truly represents: a multi-nation society.
An ethnic Somali representing a predominantly Luo society, at a time Gachagua is marketing primitive tribalism and openly urging communities to elect their own kind — the sort of primitive politics which eventually graduates to Kenya being a ‘Kikuyu country’ which can only operate on Kikuyu whims.
Hon. Junet Mohamed is not a member of the executive and sits in parliament as Leader of the Minority Party. Which government, therefore, is Hon. Junet to exit?
The answer is, Gachagua speaks in “code language”.
He is simply saying a) ODM Party must end its co-ruling alliance with Ruto b) ODM Cs/PSs must leave cabinet/government c) ODM must return to ‘opposition’ — the street theatre where ODM does the heavy lifting as Gachagua and his minions feed on the state while gaslighting anybody who dare question him — with injuries, deaths and loss the order of the day.
The hate from Gachagua corner has everything to do with ODM participation in government; which means Luo participation.
The rabid attacks come from the weariness of opposition heavy lifting. And of seeing Luos ‘everywhere’, even when in cabinet, they are only ‘two’. Tomitna!
The ODM Party of Junet Mohamed since 2018 has moved certain communities closer to the government of the day, making it difficult to conduct Kenya’s politics without, ‘the outsiders’.
The primary target of Rigathi Gachagua is the Luo but to do so he knows he has to dismantle the ODM Party.
The day Gachagua destroys ODM is the day he will have succeeded in removing the Luo from government. What will remain will be too small, powerless and irrelevant.
The ODM Party comes with the Luo Alliance, a coalition of communities spread across Kenya who’ve been part of ODM for the last 20 years. The Johos, Abdulswamads, Jiirs, Ledamas, Aratis, Oparanyas, etc.
