A Leaked audio conversation between Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and Women Rep Esther Passaris that has since gone viral has once again put opposition Party ODM and it’s leader Raila Odinga on the spotlight.

There have been widespread speculations that Raila Odinga and the ODM Party has for sometime now been siphoning money from members who want to have the Party’s ticket or associate themselves in anyway with the Party.

On the road to the 2017 General Elections, a number of MPs allied to the National Super Alliance (NASA) had to part away with 250,000 to get an ODM party ticket. Well, this was the beginning of the current woes facing ODM as good leaders who could not raise this amount or even more were locked out of various positions.

After the 1st round of the 2017 General Elections that saw President Kenyatta’s win nullified, NASA set out new provisions that had to be adhered to by members as preparations for the 2nd round of the Presidential elections gained momentum.

MPs in the opposition outfit had to part away with up to Sh500,000 each to Raila Odinga’s campaign.

A Meeting that was held at the Wiper Party headquarters resolved that those who had been re-elected contribute Sh500,000 each while their newly elected colleagues give Sh200,000.

The money, officials said, was to help NASA concentrate its campaign in areas it performed dismally on August 8.
The money was to mainly cater for logistics, campaign materials, and advertisements.

According to ODM Chairman John Mbadi, some leaders had agreed to give over Sh1 million.

“The MPs themselves agreed on the amount to be contributed to the national campaign kitty. We all agreed that the newcomers contribute a minimum of Sh200,000 while those who have been there contribute Sh500,000 or more,” said a source at the meeting.

These revelations were made after it emerged that NASA was experiencing a huge financial crisis that even prompted leaders to give out a Paybill number to help source for funds from their followers.

Well, it is now emerging that NASA’s huge financial demands took a huge toll on a number of leaders like Nairobi Women Rep Esther Passaris.

In the over 7 minute recorded conversation with Governor Mike Sonko, Passaris reveals that she was set to meet Raila Odinga and that she had to carry 500,000 shillings with her.

This 500,000 seems like a token that was meant for Baba.

“I went for a strategy meeting, and I was given some strategy which I told baba (Raila) to use..and baba listened to me. He used the strategy at the Jakaranda, ok? And baba has already told someone, a relative of his that this one is now going to be my kingpin in Nairobi…So tomorrow at seven o’clock; we are going to see him (Raila); I want to go with half a million, everybody is going with KSh 500,00, but me I do not have the money,” Said Passaris.

The revelations by Passaris have left a number of Kenyans wondering just how much Raila Odinga made enroute to and after the 2017 General Elections.

Some Kenyans have even argued on the amount Raila Pocketed from his handshake with President Kenyatta. Well, if MPs have to part away with 500,000 just to meet him, just how much did Uhuru Kenyatta part with to make him his “brother”?
