The Raila-Uhuru trip to China has been castigated online as Kenyans claim that Opposition leader Raila Odinga is a proponent of the corrupt system.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader said on Saturday that the Beijing visit will pave way for an Sh368 billion loan for the construction of SGR from Naivasha to Kisumu.
The plans come after a high-powered delegation, comprising officials from Treasury, Kenya Railways Corporation, the Transport Ministry and the State Law Office, met last week to hammer out details of the borrowing ahead of the official signing.
The former premier had equally informed the residents of Kisumu he would be traveling with the president to China to secure the said funds. “I will be part of the delegation to accompany the president to the Asian country next week.
The new SGR line will extend from Naivasha, Narok, Bomet, Sondu and finally Kisumu,” he said in Sondu on Saturday, April 20.
Kenyans now claim that the Odinga has been compromised as he doesn’t fight the corruption as he used to.
A team allied to deputy president William Ruto is wondering why the deputy president wasn’t involved.
