I HEARD THE CRY had its first launch party in Charolette, NC on Sept. 20th. The vision was cast and the people in attendance were motivated to respond to the cry! The sheer support and commitment to the cause was amazing. We would like to thank all who attended.
Hundreds of displaced people blocked Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s motorcade in Kisumu and demanded audience.
Raila drove into placard-waving IDPs outside the Tom Mboya Labour College on Monday evening, as he left a conference on male circumcision.
Unknown to the PM, the IDPs had been waiting for him outside the college from 2pm.
They claimed they had been sidelined in the Government’s ‘Operation Rudi Nyumbani’ programme.
Attempts by Raila aides to make him evade the IDPs failed as they monitored his every movement. His driver tried to drive off but the IDPs blocked the road.
Raila then came out of his limousine to thunderous cheers.
He asked them in Dholuo: “Un jomage? (Who are you?) They responded in unison: “IDPs!”
