Lawyer Willis Otieno revealed that President William Ruto has not only lost support in the populous Mt. Kenya region but also across the entire country.
Speaking during an interview,
Otieno, who was the Safina Party Leader Jimi Wanjigi’s running mate in 2022 and
Raila Odinga’s lawyer during his presidential petition, revealed that Ruto’s
popularity had dwindled significantly that they have to resort to bribing
people to attend his rallies.
Otieno gave an example of the
recently concluded Ruto’s tour in Luo Nyanza where organizers had to bribe
people to attend the rallies.
According to him, residents were
mobilized and given Sh500 and a white handkerchief which they had to wave as
Ruto was speaking to show that Nyanza supports the broad-based government that
the President formed with Raila Odinga.
After the show, they returned
the handkerchief to the organizers and were paid the remaining Sh500.
In a nutshell, the lawyer was
insinuating that Raila just played Ruto by offering him a rented crowd to gain
his support for the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship.
