This was in 1999 when Raila and Orengo were bitter rivals.
Orengo had warned Raila not to set foot in Ugunja Ugenya for a fundraising rally. However, Baba defied him and arrived in a convoy of 30 cars.
He also brought with him NDP youth wingers from Kibera who unleashed “nyaunyos” on Orengo supporters who tried to cause mayhem.
Nevertheless, the rally went on as planned with hundreds of Ugenya residents attending in brazen defiance of their MP James Orengo.
In his speech, Baba also threw a jibe at his bitter rival Anyang Nyong’o saying:
“Anyang Nyong’o be ogolo dhako moro ukambani bee chuoyo woko Kucha.” I won’t translate but it was in reference to Ngilu- Nyong’o political partnership in the SDP.
Since then Orengo and Nyong’o have realised that Baba is indomitable , and have toed the line.
