PL and Sen. Dr. Oburu Oginga _Odinga 's remarks should be understood in their proper political and historical context. The phrase "benevolent dictator" is a recognised political science expression describing a leader who exercises strong and decisive leadership while pursuing policies intended to advance the public good. It is... therefore inaccurate to interpret his comments as an endorsement of authoritarianism or the abandonment of democracy. His message was simply that effective leadership sometimes requires firmness, courage, and the willingness to make difficult decisions in the national interest. Kenya remains a constitutional democracy governed by the Constitution, the rule of law, and regular elections, and no leader can operate outside that framework. Strong, decisive leadership and democratic governance can coexist when exercised within constitutional limits and with the welfare of citizens at heart.show more

@DrOburu_O Ass kissing should have a limit. The octogenarian has become senile and should retire ASAP. I doubt if he shared a womb with the great Raila Odinga.

@DrOburu_O Finding the strength to speak in the absence of a brain is very courageous of you. Watu sio wajinga nani!!!

@DrOburu_O With your explanation it seems you and he are in favour of suspending the constitution as declared and approved by the people of Kenya. If Ruto cannot work within the confines of the constitution we have in place, the best option is to opt out and allow those with grit to push on

@DrOburu_O @orengo_james @edwinsifuna @HEBabuOwino @gladyswanga @A_S_Nassir This statement will one day haunt this old man. Baba is turning in his grave @Railajunior @IdaOdinga

@DrOburu_O

@DrOburu_O 398 days left for you to sing for your supper. You are explaining nonsense.

@DrOburu_O That's why Baba never trust him to any position in the party

@DrOburu_O So you think you're a better spin doctor and the rest of us are fools. Daily we see the luo wing in the government go an extra mile in encouraging and supporting atrocities. The fastest way of killing Odinga's legacy was to bring the closest wolf clothed in a sheep's clothing.

@DrOburu_O You are not teaching us anything Okango, when you can't even hold a debate against your intellectual rivals.

@DrOburu_O No need to explain. Everyone knows just a smell of power, a Jaluo will surrender even his kidneys to please his master

@DrOburu_O You don't know what benevolent dictatorship mean. It means stealing without fear. ODM should never be allowed near power again.

@DrOburu_O I thought you should know

@DrOburu_O Now....reassess and rewrite using: "Kenyan constitutional context" Instead of "recognised political science (theory) context"

@DrOburu_O In all the things Baba stood for, yaani hakuna kitu you guys got out with? His 50+ years fighting for justice,good governance, mpaka tukapata katiba mpya? Well, it's very unfortunate.A president is a servant of the people not a lord of some sort.If imekushinda Rudishia wananchi

@DrOburu_O No amount of sanitizing this comment will make sense in our current situation. A president who has sent police to abduct, maim, and kill any voice of dissent, smiling while being asked to be a dictator, is nothing to explain. Oburu should be ashamed. There's no too much democracy

@DrOburu_O And you’re his interpreter? He couldn’t have used the words "effective & courageous" to describe that kind of leader? The phrase is "benevolent dictator". You don’t get to ignore the word dictator just because it’s preceded by benevolent. Kenya is not a dictatorship.

@DrOburu_O No one is immuned from Stupidity . We have seen so many stupid lawyers hiding behind too many English words while saying nothing. Case example is this one. One day, this silliness you are perpetuating will one day catch up with you guys.KIAWA

@MKMurugu @DrOburu_O The fact that you have to explain his unfortunate statement is reason enough to look at it as poop 💩 that you are trying to clean. Benevolent Dictator, loving Dictator, caring Dictator. All are DICTATORS and it is a bad idea.

@DrOburu_O Thank you Prof for your very much solicited interpretation. Pray do tell, did you apply th ejusdem generis interpretation formula?

@DrOburu_O Now I understand the D in ODM means dickheads. Why define for us something we know? You know very well our constitution does not provide for such but because it is your time to be breastfed, you want to decide for Kenyans. guok!

@DrOburu_O It's idiotic of you to lecture us on what's plainly outrageous! How far are some of you prepared to support totalitarianism? What else does Oburu desire in life thet he can wish dictatorial governance? What are some people made of? Political science my foot!

@DrOburu_O While you write all this nonsense to justify an absolutely stupid thought, just know H.E. Raila Amollo Odinga would not utter such level of profanity in light of his and this country's history. Maa fuo odiang'abuk FOH!

@DrOburu_O Just listen to yourselves. Tuseme hamna aibu yoyote? Totally shameless individuals.

@DrOburu_O And how exactly do you interpret the statement "there’s too much democracy"? What does that mean? Too many human rights? Holding the government accountable a lil too much? Too much freedom to criticize govt? What is it?

@DrOburu_O The claim that'there is too much democracy' diminishes any constructive use of the term"benevolent dictatorship" to describe a strong & decisive leader. It shifts the conversation from effective leadership within democratic principles to questioning the value of democracy itself

@DrOburu_O Why do you feel the need to explain to us as if we do not understand small small English?

@MKMurugu @DrOburu_O Raila Odinga never sat on the streets eating teargas for any definition of DICTATOR. Not benevolent or any. Oburu never appeared with him on any of those occasions. He chose safety, is unprincipled, lacks ideology, hang on his little brother’s coat.

@DrOburu_O Why i alwys say you are a bootlicker who has surrendered his brains for the stomach ..Oburu is out of order and must be stopped!

@DrOburu_O No amount of sugar coating dictatorship will be entertained over here, they should cross over to uganda 🇺🇬to try that nonsense

@DrOburu_O No wonder his brother Raila kept him at a distance

@DrOburu_O You are a big disgrace, Wakili. At times, think, reason, talk, and walk like a lawyer, stop praising everything. Yes, you belong to the country praise and worship team, but sound eloquent and charismatic at times, not just a mere sycophant.

@DrOburu_O Then it means you called it benevolent dictator when get abducted and later found dead. That's what you call benevolent dictator?

@DrOburu_O @fokango now I understand why your governor built a 2 door pit latrin at half a million. You guys defend anything

@DrOburu_O If this is the defense, then it explains why those remarks sparked so much criticism. No amount of polished English can turn a dictator into a democrat. Gen Z isn't buying the rebranding.iyo enda danganya wazazi wetu not us... usituone matacore zenyu.. we're leaned my friend

@DrOburu_O The version has changed now, its no longer power that hw wants, it's a benovelent dictator.
