The type of government that the tribal kikuyu want is one where there’s no Luo anywhere.
At its best, it is a government where the Kikuyu leads and the rest toe the line.
At its worst, a caretaker Kalenjin leads but with all critical roles and decisions still reserved to the Kikuyu.
In this arrangement, Kenya is some Kikuyu bequeath and the rest of us must live according to the above dicta.
Put simply, what the Kikuyu is attempting to normalize in Kenya is a situation where all other ethnic groups in Kenya live at their mercy— economically, politically, socially.
The worst political sin to commit in Kenya today is to include the Luo in government.
The Luo should be in opposition, permanently; being clobbered, tear-gassed, brutalized, ostracized, impoverished and killed anyhow. Luo lives lost in the fight against government mean nothing — it is like the lives of those Palestinians in Gaza.

GEMA backed Uhuru throughout the time his murderous regime was killing Luos aimlessly, with police thugs breaking in people’s homes: raping women and teen girls, bludgeoning infants and violating men. They used to tell him to suspend the constitution and rule with iron fist.
When Uhuru realized he had to stop the mass murder that was going on in Kisumu, and elsewhere in Luo Nyanza, and called Raila Odinga to resolve their political differences, that was the time GEMA, which had cheered him all along, stopped supporting him — March 2018.
Earlier, same GEMA backed Kibaki to the last hour, never mind Kibaki had lost the support of the entire country (41 ethnic communities in 2007 rejected Kibaki).
GEMA were okay with Kibaki using Mungiki in 2007 and celebrated Mungiki for meting animalistic barbarity on Luos.
When they finished with Luos and turned towards home, that’s when GEMA suddenly realized the Mungiki was a ‘menace’ that needed to be contained — and Michuki used the remaining bullets they hadn’t used on Luos to solve the Mungiki problem.
Guess where Mungiki top leaders ran to hide — among the Luos! Some of their leaders were saved by running to Raila for protection.
If in 2022 some 1m kikuyus wanted Raila to be President, and 4m wanted Ruto, whereof, Ruto won, and somehow now has the backing of Raila: why is the 4m who backed Ruto very bitter with Raila and his people for also supporting the same Ruto?
People can yap as much as they want but the Luo are not going to expose themselves to government brutality anymore. That stupidity is over.
All I want is for my children to live in a Kenya where their tribe and social identity is irrelevant. Until then, you can yap all you want but I will not cheer my community to accept a role so condemned.
Those opposed to Ruto regime should fight Ruto without expecting Luo solidarity. OKWABIYIE parie
