Nyando Member of Parliament Jared Okello has dismissed claims that Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga is power hungry.
Over the past weeks, a section of politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto, have claimed Odinga is trying to access power through the back door, using a referendum.
However, according to Okello, Raila is not desperate for any state position, since he has already served the nation in different capacities.
“Raila is not hungry to be anything he has served this country in various capacities,” he said in an interview on NTV on Monday.
Raila’s critics, especially from the Jubilee Party, also accused him of reaching a truce with President Uhuru Kenyatta with the intention of bettering his chances of clinching a top slot in the nation’s leadership in future.
However, he was on Friday vindicated by Uhuru, who said their union is only aimed at uniting the nation, and no political deals are involved.
“I called him (Raila) because things had gotten bad but I never promised him any seat (as alleged),” said the Head of State at the Sagana statelodge in Nyeri.

Talk of hunger for power, do Ruto and his allies ever listen to each other and see who does what? The recent pictures of one Bonny Khalwale speak volumes about the Ruto camp and their desperate quest for power..
Good propaganda requires some minimum level of intelligence.

Ruto is in power through a rigged election. Come 2022, he will use the same tactics. all arms of the government will be alert to do the thievery work and later he will thank “god” and the “:people of Kenya for having faith in him” Anyone going against his will will face the music. More baby pendo will be clobbered and nothing will be done
