NASA leader Raila Odinga was yesterday at pains explaining why he opted to work with the Jubilee administration at the expense of the Opposition.

Raila, who attended the burial of former Education PS George Godia at Givogi village in Vihiga County, told mourners that he was compelled into a truce with President Uhuru Kenyatta following last year’s shambolic election.
