Obama’s Kenyan pal target of tell-all book
Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga who Barack Obama helped place in office in a power-sharing agreement to stop deadly rioting by Odingas followers is now the target of a devastating book by a former top adviser that threatens his prospect for re-election.
Miguna Miguna has handed over to WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi an 800-page manuscript of the book, which was scheduled to be published in Kenya this year.
Miguna, however, was informed by his publisher that publication in Kenya had to be delayed until 2013, after the presidential and parliamentary elections at the end of the year.
The delay appears to be politically motivated government censorship, said Corsi, who was deported by the Kenyan government in 2008 during an investigative reporting trip.
Odinga knows his chances of being elected president are dramatically reduced if Migunas book is published before this years presidential election in Kenya, Corsi said. Miguna presents a convincing portrait of Odinga as a political conman whose term as prime minister has been riddled by family favoritism, massive corruption, sexual abuses, and public policy incompetence.
Miguna told Corsi that the books publication will completely change Odingas political fortunes and ultimately, the political panorama in Kenya.
-----------------------
Odinga, a self-proclaimed communist, received his college education in East Germany and named his first-born son Fidel after the Cuban dictator.
---------------------------------
A lawyer by training, Miguna kept copious notes of official government meetings in which he was a participant, as well as diaries of his private discussions with Odinga, Corsi explained.
As a result, the book contains dozens of anecdotes of Odingas alleged transactions, from immoral sexual exploits, to corruption involving outright theft of millions of dollars in government funds, to accusations that Odinga is over his head in trying to rule a nation as politically complicated as Kenya.
Migunas book provides further documentation for Corsis allegation in his 2008 New York Times No. 1 bestselling book, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, that Odinga signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sheik Abdullah Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum in Kenya, to support and expand Islam in Kenya.
------------------------------
Odinga, a fellow Luo tribesman to Obama, was appointed prime minister in April 2008 only after he lost the December 2007 presidential election. The decision to create the extra-constitutional co-head of state position of prime minister for Odinga was devised by Obama, former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and then-U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The purpose was to stop the wave of tribal rioting and machete-wielding violence against members of the rival Kiduyu tribe in January and February 2008 that arose as Luo members charged their candidate was a victim of voter fraud.
The tribal violence ultimately left 1,000 dead and about a half-million homeless. Some 800 Christian churches were destroyed or burned to the ground, without a single mosque being damaged.
-------------------------
During the 2006 trip, Obama campaigned so openly for Odinga that Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua went on Kenyan television on behalf of Kenyan President Kibaki to object that Obama was meddling inappropriately in Kenyan politics, as WND reported.
WND further reported documentary evidence that Obama contributed nearly $1 million to the ODM in support of Odingas 2007 presidential campaign. An ODM campaign accounting document that listed the contribution as coming from Friends of Senator BO.
Also listed as financial contributors to Odingas 2007 presidential campaign were the late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and his second oldest son, Saif el-Islam Gadhafi.
