Opposition’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has confirmed that the party leader H E Rt Hon Raila Odinga has deliberately kept silent regarding the latest National Youth Service (NYS) and Maize scandals.

Speaking on Radio Jambo Thursday evening, Sifuna attributed Odinga’s reaction to fear mongering and negative propaganda from a section of the nation, especially those allied to the ruling Jubilee Party especially Mt Kenya where many have been brainwashed to a point of opposing everything Raila proposes even if its for their own good.

He said that the group has frustrated the former Prime Minister’s push for a spotless leadership, leading to his decision to silently watch the latest unfolding scandals with the hope that Mt Kenya and North Rift residents will take the lead to go the streets to protest on raging corruption scandals in government..

“Even if he were to raise his voice regarding the corruption scandal, some people, in line with their political allegiances and personal opinions, would still oppose him,” said Sifuna.

”He has made several similar attempts earlier but were repaid with defiance and insults by the same people now yearning for his intervention,” he added.

”Let everybody suffer, those eating monkeys let them continue and move to dogs and where possible turn to themselves perhaps its when they will realise that good governance is essential and that tribalism is bad”- Okoth Mbewa added.

Did it ever occur to you that one day HE Raila Odinga would stop fighting against corruption and impunity for you? It has happened. You have vilified him to stop. You must now speak and fight for yourself or perish. You are on your own.

Around 9 billion shillings has been reported missing in the new scandal, with most of the money ending up paid to controversial suppliers, some of whom delivered absolutely nothing to the service.

A number of officials linked to the scandal have since stepped aside to give room for investigations, including Youth Affairs Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo and NYS boss Richard Ndubai.

    SOME OF US HAVE PEOPLE LANGUISHING IN JAIL AND REMAND HOMES BECAUSE OF BEING A SUSPECT. BUT WHEN OUR LEADERS GET INVOLVED IN SUCH MEGA SCANDALS, WE ARE THE FAST TO FEEL THEIR PAIN, WE ARE THE FIRST TO DEFEND THEM, WE ARE THE FIRST TO HOLD DEMONSTRATIONS, WE ARE THE FIRST TO SHOUT LOUDLY THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS BEING TARGETED. NO ONE COMES TO OUR AID. SOME HAVE GOT COURT CASES PENDING FOR 5, 10, 15, 20 AND EVEN 50 YEARS AND THESE LEADERS DON’T CARE. KULENI UFISADI WENU

    Let Kalenjins learn the hard way, Acha mahindi iwaozee kwa store, maziwa pia wasilipwe, na chai pia wanyanganywe kisha tuone kama watakuwa watchmen, mama mboga, mama fua nguo. They have been fattened for so long, let them learn the hard way.

    Jubilee Tena Tena
    The song we have been used to everyday-
    Don’t feel sorry for these farmers who voted for Jubilee-
    When we should unite and have leaders who have got interest to build this country they fight the Opposition and clap for Thieves. Now let them lay in their bed.
    When Opposition Supporters were being killed they did not condemn it instead they were clapping forgetting when this country sinks we are all going Down. Next elections forget a bout Your tribe look for leaders who work not empty talks from thieves who are 24 hours round Our throats talking of presidency of 2022 as if one is entitled to presidence through Crook and by force. Let them keep on chasing monkeys and donkeys for meals while some are eating nyama.
