Dennis Itumbi Blasts One Mugo Wa Wairimu Over His Reckless Posts About The Late Fidel Odinga
News that is still lingering amidst us is the sudden demise of Raila Odinga’s eldest son Fidel Castro Odinga which occurred yesterday morning after a night out with friends.
As many are mourning and saddened by the untimely demise of the eldest son of the former premier, one Mugo Wa Wairimu has consistently made reckless postings on his social media accounts, not considering the pain the Odinga family is going through at this moment.
This is why Dennis Itumbi has joined many other Kenyans to warn Mugo over what he speaks about the dead.
Itumbi posted a comprehensive piece urging Mugo to refrain from such reckless postings. This is what he told him:
To Mugo Wa Wairimu – Our worst enemies are those who keep quiet when they should have told you the truth.
I have no problem with mourning someone as sincerely as you find it within your heart and mind.
But Daktari … it befits a people to let their neighbours mourn their son in the best way and in complete comfort even as we Pray for God to provide them the special peace that surpasses all understanding.
It is absolutely unfair to a family, to continue dismissing a son who passed away and expressing strong negative sentiment…however much you differ politically.
I have removed my shoes and assumed I was a family member reading your updates in the context we are in and sincerely tears flowed – yet i was just taking an imaginary role.
The late Fidel, shares a tribe with you and me – That great tribe called our generation. The tribe of youth.
In the language of the tribe called youth, I hoped you would mobilize us to contribute to ensure the rugby club he was supporting continues to thrive and they get a pitch.
Like you and me he made his mistakes, learnt from them and continued living not pretending to be perfect, but like Paul aiming at perfection.
He kept the faith. He Finished his race. He was unafraid of mistakes in his political. Social and I assume economic life. Most importantly, he did not shy from making mistakes.
Fidel is gone. I mourn with the family. I identify with the death of a young person, who had a better shot at life than you and me just because of where he was born…but he did not choose where to be born, just like we did not.
I have sat with Fidel at least twice. He had dreams like you and me. He had a vision and yes he had some regrets…he was a young man, yes more advantaged, but one with the aspirations of a better country just like you and me.
I refuse to Judge Fidel. That is now the duty of God who said it is appointed for man to die and after that judgement.
I refuse to judge you @Mugo Wa Wairimu.
I hear you – none of us should influence your thinking. However, some of us will share our true and sincere thoughts when we think you are wrong.
The decision will always be yours.
The call will be yours to make as long as you are not breaking the law.That is your constitutional right.
That said, I once again mourn Fidel as a son of Kenya and a young man who held alot of promise for our Nation.
May God Keep his family strong, provide endless Grace and courage to each of them.
