LUO'S the only connection u have with Raila's family is maybe you walked along oginga odinga street today hustling for a job or ate at a restaurant along that road. KIKUYU'S the only connection you have with Kenyatta's family is maybe you walked along Kenyatta avenue, mama ngina, you were admitted or born at KNH, you trespassed via KICC, or JKIA, went to Kenyatta High School, JKUAT or K.U, or maybe you were broke couldn't afford lunch and opted for 200 ml Brookside milk for lunch.
