Friday, January 26, 2024 - Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has stated that he was unaware that four of his ‘generals’ in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) were to be appointed to President William Ruto’s cabinet.
Speaking for the first time since
Ruto picked his key ODM luminaries to cabinet, Raila endorsed the cabinet team and
extended his best wishes to the team.
Ruto named Hassan Joho (Mining,
Blue Economy), Wycliffe Oparanya (Cooperatives), John Mbadi (National Treasury), and Opiyo Wandayi (Energy and Petroleum).
“We extend our best wishes to the
nominees and trust that they will contribute positively to national
development,” Raila said in a statement to newsrooms.
Raila also insisted that the government must address three
key issues: compensation for families of victims of extra-judicial killings,
the release of all protesters in police custody, and the termination of ongoing
cases.
The ODM boss also demanded the
prosecution of police officers involved in the shooting of peaceful protesters.
Since the unveiling of part of the
all-inclusive Cabinet, Raila's troops have been sending mixed signals about his
rapprochement with Ruto with his allies left split in the middle.

Pure hogwash. Baba gave the names, and he should stop thinking we are stupid. We know what happens or have happened before when individuals from ODM collaborated with the government of the day without his blessings the likes of Gumbo. Jakom-you can't have your cake and still eat. It's a democracy and you can choose what benefits you and your consciousness. The Almighty God will see us through this victory
