For the past week, I have been in Nairobi, Kenya, investigating
the ties between Sen. Barack Obama and Kenyan Prime Minister
Raila Odinga, as first presented in my New York Times
No. 1 best-selling book, “The Obama Nation: Leftist
Politics and the Cult of Personality.”
Chapter 4 of my book was devoted to Kenya.
As a result of the investigative journalism I have done
in Kenya this past week, I can now verify the following:
* Senator Barack Obama and Prime Minister Raila Odinga
have been in direct contact since Senator Obama’s visit to
Kenya in 2006.
* Senator Obama has advised Raila Odinga on campaign
strategy and helped Raila Odinga raise money in the
United States for Raila Odinga’s presidential campaign in Kenya.
* The memorandum of understanding Raila Odinga, representing
the Orange Democratic Movement, or ODM, and Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi,
the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, or NAMLEF,
signed on Aug. 27, 2007, is now verified as a genuine document
in the original long form Abdi produced for Kenyan television.
* An eight-page document drafted for Raila Odinga as an
executive summary of his campaign strategy, entitled
“Positioning and Marketing of the Orange Democratic
Movement and the People’s President – Hon. Raila A. Odinga,”
that was allegedly prepared by the party’s core strategy team
has also been verified as a valid document.
* Odinga's 2007 presidential campaign strategy called
for exploiting anti-Kikuyu sentiments, claiming victory and
charging voter fraud even if the campaign knew the election
had been legitimately lost and being willing to fan the flames
of ethnic tribal tensions and use violence as a last resort
by calling for mass action which led to the destruction of
properties, injuries, loss of life and the displacement of
over 500,000 Kenyans. This was to create a situation forcing
the Electoral Commission of Kenya to declare Odinga the winner
or having him declare himself, by force, “The People’s President”
at a rally in Uhuru Park.
* Even though Odinga has not fulfilled his promises to
the Muslims who voted for him, he continues to cause concern
among Kenyan Christians, because he has not declared his
position on Shariah law and the Kadhi’s Court in Kenya.
* Sen. Obama remained in active phone contact with Odinga,
through the New Hampshire Democratic Party primary in January,
continuing to support Odinga, turning a blind eye to the
memorandum of understanding signed with Muslims and the
post-election violence instigated as part of the ODM campaign
strategy.
Until the U.S. presidential election in November, I will
be substantiating these charges on WorldNetDaily, where
I am a senior staff investigative reporter.
