What you need to know:

  • Mr Wa Kiago said that the Kikuyu community has no problem working with Mr Odinga and he should always feel at home in region.
  • The ODM leader is keen on using the handshake to make inroads in Mt Kenya region, which has perennially voted against him.

ODM leader Raila Odinga this week resumed his charm offensive in Mt Kenya, meeting both the youth and elders as he urged them to reject the dynasty versus hustler narrative being perpetuated by Deputy President William Ruto, noting it’s not a solution to the myriad problems they are facing.

Mr Odinga while drumming up support for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) in Ruaka, Kiambu County, told the youth to support the law reforms, as they hold key solutions to their problems.
