When Siaya senator James Orengo revealed that there is a power pact between Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, this was not taken lightly by anti-William Ruto elements surrounding the president who felt that he had shown his hand too early and fear was, it was likely to cause more disharmony in Jubilee party that is divided down the middle.

It is said the said power game is to be executed after Kenyans go for a referendum and new positions are created.

The timing of Orengo’s remarks raised eyebrows in Jubilee and ODM and the entire country’s political terrain. Orenga made the remarks after he was invited to State House to witness Uhuru signing four bills in his capacity as senate minority leader.


Insiders say after the expose, State House called Raila to express its reservations on Orengo sentiments. Raila is said to have ordered top party leaders led by chairman John Mbadi to try to manage the damage by declaring that the party had not entered into any agreement with Jubilee. Orengo was later to claim he was misquoted.


But the damage had already been done with some Uhuru insiders saying that it is difficult to strike deals with Luos because the secret will be out before sunset as they brag to all and sundry unlike Kalenjins who will not spill a word.

Many wondered what the urgency was or what purpose it served Orengo’s proclamations and urged caution on the part of Uhuru while letting too much on Raila.

“No wonder political power has eluded these people,” a Uhuru ally was heard whispering loudly at an exclusive bar.


Orengo had even tried to create the impression that he had been to State House solely to talk 2022 powergames and even claimed that he had held a “four-hour meeting with Uhuru”.
