As the succession debate hots up, ODM leader Raila Odinga is rejecting talk that him and President Uhuru Kenyatta are products of political dynasties.

"There is no dynasty. Those people (their fathers) struggled on their own," Raila told mourners at the funeral service of former Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation chairlady Jane Mumbi Kiano.
