Supporters painted Uhuru Park with their party’s
colours
They turned up in large numbers for launch of
presidential campaign
Draped in party T-shirts, caps and anything orange
Every other time the crowd would overwhelm the security
The crowds took over all the space, including the concrete
area next to the dias
The crowd resorted to hoisting those who wanted
to leave the area high as there was no space to walk.
The crowd dislocated the media from the space
allocated next to the dias
Several people were stretched out of the grounds after they
lost their breath in the scorching sun.
The otherwise peaceful crowd persevered the scorching sun as
they waited
Ibrahim Ahmed Yusuf popularly
known as Johnny came riding on a
camel and holding
a hammer
Dr Dan Shikanda, a former national soccer star who is eyeing the Makadara seat, entered into the grounds kicking a
ball.
The ODM pentagon members arrived riding on a bus painted with the orange colours amid
cheers from the crowd
The cheering reached its peak when Health minister and Narc chairperson
Charity Ngilu arrived at the venue

serpent that has taken over a bird’s nest.

“We want change that is genuine, we voted in 2002 for leaders who have not been truthful. This year, we want to vote for Raila because he understands the ordinary man’s problem. But the one we gave the vote is not for
change,” Mrs Ngilu said

Raila reminded Kenyans that around this time, five years ago, he pronounced
Kibaki Tosha and was now declaring Kibaki
Toka (out). He declared that it was time for him to
retire honourably.
President Kibaki should leave because he has failed the exam that Kenyans set for him in 2002.
We are at the verge of the birth of the Third Republic and now we are together moving towards the completion of this otherwise most extended journey.
I call upon Kenya’s great sons, daughters, men and women to rise with courage and hope to this new beginning. Let us all be strong and of good courage without fear.
“I am supporting the candidature of Raila
Odinga, Narc recognises his commitment to
reform, his passion for change and his
commitment to social democracy” she said.
"Goldenberg gave birth to Anglo leasing which transformed itself
to Mamlukis (mercenaries), to Mungiki and now Chinkororo."
