Wednesday, March 16, 2022 – ANC leader, Musalia Mudavadi, has sensationally claimed that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga will be a remote-controlled President if elected in the forthcoming General Elections.
Mudavadi said President Uhuru Kenyatta is pushing the ODM leader to take over from him so that he (Uhuru) can use him as a tool to rule the country even after his retirement.
Speaking at the Kasarani gymnasium in Nairobi during the UDA National Delegate Convention on Tuesday, Mudavadi called on Kenyans to elect a working leader who will not be a puppet of the minority but who will work for Kenyans. “We do not want a puppet regime or puppet leaders. We do not want a remote-controlled leader in Kenya; we want a leader who is hands-on,” Musalia Mudavadi said in an indirect reference to Raila Odinga who many have termed as a project of President Uhuru.
Mudavadi’s warning comes barely days after Deputy President William Ruto said the opposition chief will be controlled by some selfish individuals who want to safeguard their interests.
In his charm offensive of the Gusii region, the Deputy President claimed that some powerful individuals in Government were busy planning how to take over power using Raila and rule from the background.
“While we are busy planning how the lowest Kenyan will be uplifted, some other operatives are busy in hotels planning how to install a puppet President who they will control as they want so that their selfish interests continue being served. We are not fools to accept such schemes,” Ruto said.
Last month, Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta directly endorsed Raila Odinga’s presidential bid saying he has the best interests for the country at heart.
“I’m asking you to support Raila Odinga as he means well for the Country. When “my young man reforms”, we will consider him,” Uhuru said.
