National Super Alliance leader Raila Odinga has been criticized online for supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tax proposal in the spirit of ‘The Handshake’.
Mr Odinga’s decision to back the president’s proposal on fuel tax has already angered some of his lieutenants.
His supporters who are set to bear the brunt of the increased taxes, have chided him for capitulating in the fight for the interests of citizens.
Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka were bribed to ensure that NASA MPs support President Uhuru Kenyatta’s 8% VAT on petroleum products. Shame on them and our MPs Kenyans are on their own

Many are now accusing Raila for his hypocritical behavior following the incident where some of his MPs chant to support Uhuru’s proposal while others are publicly opposing.
They now claim that Raila whispered to some of his allies to support the proposal then others to oppose at the same time.

Some went ahead to quote Odinga’s tweet in 2013 where he had noted that an economy can not grow on taxes.
