Why Was Raila Odinga Thrown Out Of A Nyeri Hotel?

Presidential hopeful Raila Odinga was in Nyeri yesterday for the funeral of an LDP official in the district. Two memorable incidents took place.

Firstly here was a skirmish at the funeral when a local in the area was interrupted by rowdy youths as he tried to criticize President Kibaki's administration. Things were so serious that the "speech" had to be cut short. It is not clear why details of this incident are so scanty in the local media.

But there was more drama to follow when Raila was ejected from a Nyeri Hotel because the "owner wanted nothing to do with ODM."

Both these incidents display the height of political immaturity in the country, although critics would be quick to point out that anybody critical of Raila Odinga would face more or less the same treatment in Kisumu, the bedrock of this presidential candidate's support.

This is clear evidence that the wounds between these two leading tribes in Kenya have never been addresses, let alone any attempt made to heal them. Instead every time I bring up the subject here I am accused of being a tribalist pushing forward a tribal agenda.

Alas, Kenyans for now (read those in power and their agents who pollute this blog in large numbers) prefer to bury their head in the sand and pretend that there is no problem and whoever brings up the subject is a tribalist. So be it.
