I been to Kenyan before the election over there, and the rigging that kibaki did. I've not see so many people living is such squalor and poverty in my whole life. Do not blame Raila Odinga for the situation the country is in. You are the type that help to keep your country and your people living in those huts and with no furniture, hardly any different to animals. What about kibaki what have he done for his people. I seen articles about him, he's called the sleeping president. What is your problem with Obama, is a black man not good enough to run the world, make it a much fairer world. The majority of Africans is starving. It a disgrace the riches part of the world and people die every day of lack of food to eat. Visiting Africa it pains my heart to see how people live. People like you help to keep the situation the way thing are.

I may not be an American and not that i care so much about politics. But when people start lying about things in the name of God i can't stand them. First of all i come from Meru in Kenya and my question to the Davis is; how many muslims live in meru where they claim to have worked with them. If i am not wrong the greatest population of muslims in kenya live in the north eastern province, coast province and when you come to eastern province where meru lies the highest number is in isiolo. Secondly how many of the luo tribe where Obama comes from live in there and how many hundreds of miles is it to luo nyanza? My home has been known for good things,even the election violence were minimal so don't ruin our good name. Let us be known for our good Miraa

Raila factor in Obama contest

SUNDAY NATION Correspondent in NEW YORK

Right-wing activists in the United States are attempting to use Senator Barack Obama’s Kenyan links to discredit him.

The activists, most of them conseervative Christians, claim that Mr Obama is a relative of Prime Minister Raila Odinga, whom they describe as a “socialist who plans to introduce Sharia Law in Kenya”.

Mr Obama is leading his party’s presidential nominations and is almost certain to win against Senator Hillary Clinton.

He also stands a good chance against Senator John McCain of the rival Republican Party, thus making history as the first non-white to become a US president.

For the past two decades, American presidential campaigns have been conducted with every aspect of a candidate’s life placed under the microscope.

Analysts expect the Republicans to scour Mr Obama’s Kenyan links to find anything that they can use against him.

Some of the most widely circulated allegations originated last month in a chain e-mail from Celeste Davis, an American Christian missionary who, together with her husband Loren Davis, claims to have worked in Kenya for 12 years.

The Davises allege that Senator Obama donated nearly $1 million (approximately Ksh61 million) to the Orange Democratic Movement’s campaign last year. “Obama and Raila speak daily,” the Davises add, claiming that the two men are cousins.

Bizarre and discredited

Mr Odinga’s spokesman, Mr Salim Lone, dismissed the allegations as bizarre and discredited.

“These are bizarre accusations that lack credibility. The allegations that the Prime Minister has socialist and pro-Mulism leanings were discussed and discredited in the last campaign,” he said.

“This is the work of right-wing activists who are trying to puncture holes in Senator Barack Obama’s campaign for the White House by attempting to resurrect allegations that were discredited in Kenya during the campaign,” he said.

Nairobi-based political scientist, Tom Wolf, an American, said that the Internet smear campaign against Mr Obama was an act of desperation.

“It just shows how desperate the Republicans are that Obama is viewed as a serious threat that they would have to use such irrelevant campaign tactics. If the Americans were worried, would they be so close to him? You recall that someone tried to use the Somali robes to discredit him,” he said.

If the Cold War were still on and communism were still alive, and Raila had spent a weekend with some communist leader like Fidel Castro, he said, it would be much more of an issue.

“But if you criticise Obama because he is related to a Kenyan leader who arrived at a compromise over the disputed election to save his nation, how ...
