Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76729, member: 636"] Raila Odinga Junior wants to fix up his late dad's legendary red Hummer and stick it in the Kango Ka Jaramogi museum, where the former Prime Minister got buried. The SUV became a whole political brand after Don Bosco Gichana donated it during the 2007 campaign, and crowds used to scream the vehicle's name at rallies because it made the elder Odinga look powerful. The thing vanished after the election crisis ended, and it only popped up once more in 2008. Silas Jakakimba claims he spotted the car first and told Gichana it would absolutely wreck the campaign trail before the businessman handed it over. Junior's plan got backing from Jakakimba, who thinks putting the Hummer in a museum preserves an important slice of Kenyan political history tied to his former boss's attempts at changing how the government operates.
