Former Attorney General Justin Muturi called on Kenyans to remember Raila Odinga’s contributions to the country’s political transformation. His remarks came after attending a memorial service in Nairobi, highlighting Odinga’s influence on Kenya’s modern political landscape. Muturi emphasized that Odinga’s impact extended beyond his political following, shaping the nation’s democratic evolution.
Meanwhile, opposition leader Kalonzo Kinoti announced he would honor Odinga privately in Bondo, accusing President Ruto’s allies of exploiting Odinga’s legacy for political gain. This move has deepened divisions, with some leaders questioning the motives behind public tributes to the late leader.
President William Ruto criticized Uhuru Kenyatta for claiming Raila won the 2022 election, calling the remarks “drunk and confused.” Ruto warned against inflammatory statements, as the debate reignites tensions over Kenya’s political past.
The controversy underscores ongoing debates over Kenya’s political history and the legacy of its leaders.
