THE BABA RALLY UNDER SIEGE !!

Raila Odinga the enigma verses Uhuru Kenyatta the president or is it Cord verses Jubilee given the political mileage each coalition has.

The much awaited rally that is, the mother of rallies expected to draw millions of Kenyans for a day to welcome Baba the great leader that is iconic for playing in his own level, though also praised and criticized in equal measure for his Kitendawili.

As all roads lead to Jomo Kenyatta Airport scores of people will be waiting for him at Uhuru Park hoping to just catch a glimpse of the #BabaWhileYouAreAway fame that has been in Boston for three months leading to a tour of Africa and Europe then finally to his home country.

So as expected in African culture when a Father leaves his children to travel a gift is expected on his arrival and the Kenyans aren’t taking this for granted hoping that Jakom could be the solution to the myriad of problems facing his people commencing Food insecurity to the increased cases of insecurity.

As the only remaining brothers of a man of the people in Chinua Achebe´s great book Kenyans have a growing hope that there problems may just receive an answer and the masses expect no excuses.
