What is the difference between these FORDs? There is none. What is the difference between FORD(P) and KANU? None! It is just that the personalities leading them are different. What is the difference between NARC(K), NARC(Ngilu) and NARC(G.G. Kariuki)? There is no difference, except the fact that one has refused to quit being the interim chairperson. So, we are not addressing the issue of ideologies which is a very important issue. We must have party differences. For example, you should know that if you went to Nyanza, you will eat ugali, if you go to central Kenya, you will eat githeri and if you go to Eastern Province, you will eat"
