Raila's 79th Birthday Celebration Overflowing with Cake Humor

Raila's 79th Birthday Celebration Overflowing with Cake Humor

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has once again emphasized the need for protests, this time using subtle messages imprinted on cakes to commemorate his 79th birthday.

At 3 pm in Malindi, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party organized a special event to honor Odinga, presenting him with two beautifully adorned cakes. These cakes carried a significant message, calling upon President William Ruto's administration to alleviate the financial burden faced by citizens through a reduction in taxes. The first cake, adorned with the vibrant colours of ODM, stands tall. The second cake carries a heartfelt plea on its base, urging a decrease in the tax imposed on food packaging.

The remaining three layers of the four-layered cake contain messages advocating for reducing the turnover tax, the VAT on fuel, and the housing levy, respectively. Shortly before the planned event, the opposition leader paid a visit to the Malindi Orphanage. To commemorate his birthday, he was accompanied by children, as well as his wife, Ida Odinga, and leaders from the Coastal region. As a gesture of solidarity, many Kenyans have shared photographs of the cakes they have created to honour the former Prime Minister. These thoughtful confections are adorned with resounding messages.

For instance, one supporter makes a bold statement by showcasing a cake depicting fuel prices before President William Ruto's election. The cake displays a timeline of prices, revealing that in 2018, a liter of petrol cost Ksh129, followed by Ksh130 in 2019, Ksh107 in 2020, Ksh129 in 2021, and finally reaching Ksh191 in 2022. These figures serve as a reminder to the public of the rising fuel costs under the current administration.

The messages conveyed through this display appear to resonate with many Kenyans, further solidifying their support for the former Prime Minister's call for protests, which he had announced on December 30. During his announcement, the opposition leader placed the blame squarely on the government for increasing taxes that have resulted in a challenging economic situation throughout the country.

Hata ingawa mimi sisheherekei siku yangu ya kuzaliwa, siwapingi waliopigwa msasa na Ndugu na Dada zetu wa asili ya Yuropa ambao walitupiga msasa kwa :
1. Kutupatia majina yao ya asili.
2. Kutufundisha mambo ya imani zao bandia ambazo ziliruhusu wafanyi biashara kuwachukua watu wa asili ya COHO (Continent Of Human Origins) na kuwauza na kiwanunua sokoni kama mbuzi.
3. Kuua lugha zetu na kutufanya tuone aibu kuse,a lugha zetu za asili na pia kuwafundisha watoto wetu kujivunia lugha hizo.
4. Kutufundisha kusherehekea siku ya kuzaliwa kama vile Ndugu yeru Raila Juma Oginga alivyofabya huko Malindi leo.

Mimi binafsi siitambui Kalenda iliyobuniwa na Tapeli Gregory wa 13 ambayo inatumiwa duniani kote. Mimi huhesabu umri wangu kutokana na siku ambazo nimeishi hapa duniani tangu nizaliwe. Leo, kulingana na Kalenda yangu, Ndugu yetu Raila ametimiza siku 28,584 tangu azaliwe na mamake ambaye anaitwaJuma huku akishirikiana na babake Hayati Oginga.

Kitendo kilichofanywa na askari polisi cha kuwarushia waliofika kwenye Sherehe ya siku ambayo Raila ametimiza miaka 79 kwa kuwarushia wananchi vitoa machozi (tear gas) vinaonesha dhahiri ya kwamba Samoei na wafuasi wake wa UDA bado hawajasoma Katiba Mpya ya Kenya.
Yafaa, tume maluum iundwe ili imtimue Samoei kutoka kazini kwa ukosefu wake wa kuelewa yaliyomo kwenye Katiba Mpya ya Kenya.

Kwa Wanasheria wote wa Kenya:

Hayati Mpilo Tutu wa COHO ya Kusini alisema, "If you are silent in situations of injustice, you have taken the side of the oppressor."

80 year old but bado he is full of nonsense wanting to bring the kenyan economy down by stupid demonstration instead of behaving like a gentleman.Who cares if he is 80/90 juu tabia ni Zile tu za kitoto.In my culture when an 80 year old father celebrating birthday he does it quietly with his family n grandchildren in his home not mentioning it to entire country n even causing demonstrations in the kenyan cities.Nonsense

Kalejinga Ruto is dying of jealousy.

Tear-gassing people for singing & cutting a cake in Nairobi is shameful.

Shame on kalejingas and Kikuyu kunias.

Let us give it to Raila, the man is in great shape mentally and physically considering his age and also having to live with the aftermath ya vile alifinywa na Nyayo.
