Quotes Our people deserve genuine representation, not outsiders speaking on our behalf when Kenya's future is being discussed. That is why I, James Orengo, am ready to fight to the bitter end to ease the economic burden on our citizens. Let me be clear: there will be no discussions with Ruto until the ten-point agenda set by Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga is addressed. Not one point has been touched, and the cost of living remains entirely unsustainable. The death of Albert Ojwang' has shaken me to my core. I feel angry. This is not the Kenya I fought for as a young turk. I survived Nyayo House torture chambers - but today's police cells terrify me more than Moi's darkest dungeons ever did. I don't want to say much lest I be accused of undermining this broad-based government. I am not kind of person who keeps quite when injustice prevails but there are people holding my throat tighter than any chains we wore before. My voice will be heard when the time comes. We won our independence, but we are not yet free. Sometimes revolutions eat their own children… governments eat their own people. This government is going to punish you more than they will punish me, I am telling you. In another one year you’ll be crying in my office to come and represent you. Orengo said he was concerned by what he considers misplaced government priorities.
