		Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the doyen of opposition politics in Kenya built around him a communist mound which to many, out of sheer skepticism, did not give room for acquisition of material wealth and therefore what he owned was largely overlooked.
		Jaramogi as seen in Babadejo’s work not only believed in the mount of a vicious warfare against the oppressive colonial regime, but also in the means of an economic independence which would send shivers down the White man’s spines that the fl skin too, could do it.
		Whereas Jaramogi’s were small time investments, although prominent in his days, the Lang'ata MP had an industrial dream of capital acquisition which is today evident in a company associated with him; the Spectre International which also runs the Kisumu Molasses Plant, now valued at tens of billions of shillings.

		In a reconciliatory move, Jaramogi invited the President to a rally in his Bondo constituency, as his Ford-Kenya reached out to KANU for "co-operation in development".

		Mr Odinga was at various times a Luo tribal leader (thus the name Jaramogi); a prominent figure in the nation's struggle for independence, Kenya's first Vice-President and later veteran leader of the Opposition under two Presidents.
		Mr Odinga was now the leader of the opposition, even though the Kenyatta government and its successor, the Nyayo regime of President Moi, did whatever they could to make the rest of his political life a living hell.
		Some of Mr Odinga's more fanatical supporters have suggested in the past that the man was such a giant, it took eight people to fill his shoes in Kanu, the party he helped form and then was forced out of.

	Headlines \| How Kenyatta, Moi and Odinga shaped Kenyan politics
		Odinga, a socialist-leaning politician whom the West feared, was far too close to the communist Soviet Union, openly criticised President Kenyatta’s economic policies in general, and land policies in particular.
		The influence of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who was not only locked out by Kenyatta but also by Moi, in Luo Nyanza forced out many politicians like Mr Achieng’ Oneko and Mr Odongo Omamo.
		While Ondiek was locked out of the Ugenya parliamentary seat when Jaramogi still straddled the politics of Luo Nyanza, his political rival and brother-in-law, Mr James Orengo, had to give way in the 2002 General Election for failing to align himself to Raila.

		Oginga Odinga, then working with the Young Turk crew of Imanyara, Muite, Kiraitu, Raila, Wamalwa and others used the popularity and credibility of the Nairobi Law Monthly to set this periodical(and to a lesser extent the now defunct Society) as opposition mouthpieces.
		Odinga had taken his two sons to be baptized in CMS Church at Maseno.
		To paint Raila Odinga as a dangerous coup plotter who missed the hangman’s noose by a whisker on the eve of a crucial vote at Bomas that may seal the fate of the NAK faction is to me just so transparently amateurish it is not even funny.

		Odinga saw this loophole and, using officials from 22 branches who had just graduated from the Lumumba Institute, called for the Congress and announced the date for the election.

		Anyona's name however remains dominant among Kenya's political personalities because he is perceived by a large section of Kenyans as a brave man, who was strong enough to challenge the KANU government at a time when it was almost suicidal to do so.
		Others enjoying a similar reputation include the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, his son Raila Odinga, Martin Shikuku, Kenneth Matiba, just to mention but a few.
		To many Kenyans, this was one battle Anyona and Jaramogi could not shy away from because they were the ones who started it in 1982.

		Dear Sir I read with great interest your timely 8th year commemorative feature on the passing away of legendary Kenyan leader Jaramogi Oginga Odinga It was particularly gratifying to note the efforts that have been taken to preserve the rich Dhuluo heritage alongside Jaramogi's illustrious legacy.
		It is pointed out in your feature that Jaramogi's key speeches both locally and abroad are preserved on video cassettes, and this is certainly a point of public interest, as I am one amongst several who would want to purchase a copy of the same.
		That Jaramogi's famous clash with Mzee Kenyatta in 1969 was key in regulating the excesses of the regime then, is also not in dispute.

		In point of fact, Jaramogi was more of a Pan Africanist and a Kenyan nationalist than he was an adherent to Socialist ideology.
		It was the arbitrary imposition of this economic policy blueprint that angered Jaramogi so much that be questioned his colleagues’ commitments in bringing fundamental changes to the Kenyan people and challenged the Kenyatta Government’s ability to deliver on their promises to the Kenyan people.
		Whereas the Jaramogi group believed that political power had to be used to serve the interests of ordinary Kenyans, the Kenyatta/Mboya/Kibaki group believed that political power was for self-aggrandizement and riches of the newly minted power barons.

		Raila Odinga's father, the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga is reported to have said in a speech to the post-independence Lancaster House Constitutional Conference(1960), in the UK that "Kenya is Marwa", prompting all the white colonialist conference participants to rush to the Library, to look up the expression, but to no avail.
		The rift between Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of Kenya bears striking similarities to the one existing between his son Raila Odinga and the current president Mwai Kibaki.
		I am not sure what kind of a leader Raila Odinga might turn out to be if he were to become President of Kenya, but one thing I am certain of is that he has been the number catalyst in the struggle for democratic change in Kenya.
