Birds of a feather. Both want to distribute the wealth, as long it is not theirs. Odinga is one of the richest men in Kenya. A long time opposition leader, he joined the ruling party in 2001, promptly bought a major government asset, Kisumu Molasses for about $50,000, turned around and sold 55% of it to a Canadian company for $5 million. Started out his money making with the help of Lybian and Saudi friends and their oil. Has more points in common with his fellow tribesman. The contributors to his campaign, such as Perreira read as a who's who in Kenyan Corruption. The godfather of African corruption, Obasanjo of Nigerian fame and the Gadaffi clan are all prominent supporters. I am sure if he loses he too will indulge in the age-old African cultural practise of formenting riots.
