I DARE SAY TUJU STONED HIMSELF IN KISUMU

I’m sick and tired of hearing everybody generalize luo’s as nothing but stone throwers after the Kisumu incident involving Hon Raphael Tuju last week. The main question I ask myself and others is who is the single most beneficiary of this incident? Politically off course. If your answer is Tuju then naturally whoever stands to benefits most must be the one who organized youths to pelt his convoy with rocks, after all a few broken auto glass is pocket change to such a wealthy man. Raila isn’t going to get any political mileage by instructing youths to stone his opponent ,as many have noticed by now he is slowly metamorphosing to cast an image of a national leader and is reaching out to other communities which were considered hostile to ODM ,to organize such a silly incident will not make any sense especially when the stakes are so high.Tuju on the other hand who until last week was not featuring any where in the 2012 political talk has just gained tonnes of media coverage by this one incident. Coming from a mainstream media back ground you must agree that his was a genius strategy to get the nation to notice him and talk about him hence becoming relevant, remember it was alleged that Mwau shot at his own car and also that someone planted a fake grenade at his office,we must always remember that a politician is a politician no matter how savvy or suave. Another angle could be Raila phobic’s on the other side could have easily paid a few idle youth to attack Tuju's convoy just so they can blame it on ODM ,after all they have promised to use “all means necessary “ to cut Tinga to size. The clips that are all over the internet clearly show that those who walked with and listened to Tuju out numbered the stone throwers ,so majority of kisumu residents can be said to be tolerant and open mined.
