Is Raila now a Uhuru’s puppet?
Dr. Oburu Odinga, Raila Odinga’s elder brother has come out to call for his brother to walk out of the March 9 2018 handshake agreement with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
According to Oburu, who is a member of the East African Assembly, Raila would soil his stance against corruption if he continued to support the Jubilee administration.
Oburu Oginga: @RailaOdinga should withdraw his support for President Uhuru Kenyatta and distance himself from the handshake.
As things stand in, he risks soiling his well fought anti-graft credentials and also loose his grounds to DP Ruto

Oburu’s stance is likely to kick up a storm and subject the Handshake to scrutiny. Political commentator Herman Manyora termed the statement as “very serious” as it puts the Handshake to test.
“The message being sent by Oburu is that his brother is looking for an exit strategy from the union between him and the President,” said the University of Nairobi don.
Oburu went on to explain that he could not force Raila to reconsider his working relationship with Uhuru.
“I can only advise him but if he refuses, it’s up to him. But he needs to be careful with his image,” Oburu explained.
He stated that Raila should not stay in an environment where corruption was condoned.
His statements have been supported widely by Kenyans who believe Raila has turned to be Uhuru’s puppet since the handshake.
Here are some of the reactions.
