HON. OUMA A. FLORENCE ( Nyar Ruoth)

OPEN MEMO TO HE EDWIN SIFUNA Your Excellency Edwin Sifuna, Every GENERATION has an idea that resonates with it. The eponymous poet William Wordsworth said of youth revolutions: “Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very Heaven.” … I saw your launch today of LINDA MWANANCHI MOVEMENT & was impressed. To see a young person like you joining the High Table is a proud moment. US & Europe have had people in their 40’s coming to national leadership. In Africa, young leaders come to office only through a military coup. Maybe, you may show that a young leader can be elected in Africa. However, though the enthusiasm of your members was expected, their treatment of my friend HE Kalonzo Musyoka, SC was wrong. Your supporters should know that you cannot be president unless you have support across the country. Without Kamba Nation support, being President will be very hard. In African custom, once you invite guests, none should be mistreated even if they come with torn clothes. Chinua Achebe said” “A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their own homes.” Kalonzo Musyoka is a statesman. He deserves outmost respect. He deserves to be wooed not booed. Let your supporters understand the basics of coalition buildings. All the best boss! Donald
