Dear Sirs,
As a matter of fact, you two Honorable gentlemen have been actively involved in the day to day politics of this country for more than two decades. During this period, you have fearlessly expressed yourself much to the satisfaction and admiration of Kenyans.
For this, you have paid dearly. Both of you have been clobbered, tear-gasssed, detained and even narrowly escaped death while persistently struggling to liberate this country.
It must have been a sigh of relief to you to eventually occupy crucial public offices after last year’s General Election. Essentially, your dreams came true especially to you Hon.Orengo when you were appointed as a minister.
Hon.Orengo, you were quoted a few days ago complaining that officials from your ministry were involved in issuance of title deeds to unsuspecting persons and other scams. It was quite paradoxical considering that you have unfettered discretion to deal with such wayward officials. You should exercise the same vigor you had while fighting for democracy.
When the coalition government was formed, Kenyans expected real changes after myriad of unfulfilled promises from yesteryears. Right Hon.Raila Odinga, you occupied a powerful seat following the power sharing arrangement with President Mwai Kibaki.
Though there is positive change in many areas, there are others you need to address. For instance, Kenyans are complaining about the high prices of food and fuels. They would appreciate if your leadership is felt in ensuring that they cope with the escalating cost of living.
Another thing is the Kenya Communications Bill (Amendment) Bill, 2008 that was passed by a few parliamentarians. The contentious bill was passed notwithstanding media and public uproar. Your Honors, you fought for the independent media during your unwavering struggle for freedom. You should advocate for its review before it is assented by the president
