Political analyst Ambrose Weda has faulted the Luo region for being too dependent and attached to one political leader.
In a veiled reference to opposition leader Raila Odinga, he faulted the region for deeming any person opposed to Raila as an enemy of the community.
In an interview on KBC English Service's 'The Big Conversation' Wednesday morning, Weda said that the region risks losing focus this way.
"We must stop disowning all our children trying to provide the way forward in favor of Raila. When we have complete trust in him and follow blindly, when he goes wrong, we all end up on the wrong direction," he said.
Weda, a native of the same region and a High Court Advocate gave an example of Raila's previous wrong political calculations that have kept the region in the political cold.
Courtesy of Raila's failed presidential ambitions, the region has always found itself in the opposition after each election, despite its desire to be on the brighter side.
But he noted that the region stands to benefit courtesy of Raila's last minute u-turn on the government and President Uhuru Kenyatta courtesy of their current good terms.
"The region is finally on the right track courtesy of Raila's unity with President Uhuru Kenyatta, but if he veers off again, then it shall be back to square one," he added.
Raila is considered the region's ultimate leader, and is even set to host President Kenyatta for his 2-day tour of the lakeside region beginning Thursday, December 13.
