Opposition and Azimio leader Raila Odinga has told US envoy to Kenya Meg Whitman to keep off the country’s affairs.
“Tell the rogue ambassador Kenya is not the United States. Kenya is not a colony of the United States. Keep your mouth while you are here. Otherwise, we will call for your recall back to your country,” said Odinga.
Whitman, while addressing the 8th Devolution Conference in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County on Wednesday, claimed the 2022 General Election was the most credible poll Kenya ever held.
She termed the contested election by the Opposition as a ‘credible, transparent and verifiable election.’
But, Odinga while addressing the summit on Thursday, August 17, said Whitman’s statement was uncalled for, urging her to keep off the country’s affairs.
In the August 9, 2022, presidential poll, President William Ruto got 7.18 million votes (50.49 per cent) against Odinga’s 6.94 million votes (48.85 per cent).
