Wednesday, January 10, 2024 - President William Ruto has something new to worry about following a secret meeting between former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and billionaire Jimmy Wanjigi.
Raila and Wanjigi met on
Wednesday at a Nairobi hotel, fueling speculation that a new political pact
between the two could be in the works.
Speaking after the meeting,
Wanjigi told the media they discussed several issues including matters of
national importance.
“We discussed several issues but
more importantly matters of national interest with the Azimio leader in our
meeting that went very well,” Wanjigi said.
Raila, who was not accompanied
by any of his allies, declined to speak with journalists about the details of
their meeting.
Reports indicate that Wanjigi is
looking to join forces with Raila to put pressure on the President William
Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza administration.
The
businessman-turned-politician fell out with Raila in 2018 following the mock
swearing-in at Uhuru Park.
The two were once close friends
and political allies, and Wanjigi actively participated in Raila’s 2017
campaigns.
Wanjigi claimed in a previous
media interview that Raila went into a handshake with retired President Uhuru
Kenyatta without the knowledge of his closest associates.
