Sunday, October 19, 2025 - As Kenyans and the world mourn the passing of former Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga, a curious silence hangs over those who once played a central role in dehumanizing him.
Local agencies and journalists who collaborated with British
firm, Cambridge Analytica, during the 2013 and 2017 elections helped craft one
of the most vicious digital campaigns in Kenya’s history.
Raila was portrayed as the “devil incarnate,” a “merchant of
death,” and the “lord of poverty” - labels designed to instill fear and sway
public opinion against his presidential bid.
Among those linked to these efforts are journalist Alex
Chamwada, nominated Senator Essy Okenyuri, filmmaker Abel Mutua and digital
strategist Pauline Njoroge.
Their involvement, once buried beneath layers of political spin, now resurfaces in the shadow of Raila’s legacy
