NYANDARUA Senator Penina Methu, one of the most rabid anti-Luo Gachagua attack dogs spent the whole of 2023 insulting, belittling and demeaning Luos.
Now he is engaging us in reverse pyschology. He has since acquired a new love for Luos. He wanra us to ‘work together’. New Love manufactured by Gachagua’s impeachment and the total collapse of murima shareholding politics!
Penina once suggested that Luos who seek government loans through Hustler Fund should be DENIED the loans or if they must get, that their loan amounts should be LESS than what the Kamaus and Kipronos get. The video is out there.
A rabid tribalist engaged in a wild goose chase, Methu today finds himself sinking alongside Gachagua, desperate to cobble an alliance with the very people he spent valuable years trying to sideline and exclude in the governance of Kenya.
Many people do not understand how the loaning system in Kenya was used in the past to economically impoverish certain people and regions.
In most Luo homes till today, the anti-loan attitudes of the older generation is still endemic.
Those attitudes were created by banking practices which structurally excluded certain people from access to credit. Your name alone was enough to cancel you out. Your name. The audience who listened to him make these incendiary comments burst in cheerful laughter.
When Raila Odinga attended a funeral in Nyandarua in the same year; Methu harrased, harangued and disrespected him in front of even the children in audience.
He has never apologized and retracted these statements.
Methu is a young primitive tribalist engaged in a worthless pursuit.
There will be no political alliance until you de-oath and de-tribalize and we are not afriad of losing elections on this count. The 1969 oath must go.
