People of Nyanza and especially Luos have been murdered and marganalised by three successive and oppressive governments. It is not because they are bad people and also there is no one good except God, but for their stand on TRUTH, GOVERNANCE AND TRANSPERANCY which Kenya Government has never had or is not willing to have. This is the time!
