Opposition leader Raila Odinga has dismissed claims that he was using the March 9, 2018 handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta to rock the Jubilee Party.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader said he was beyond local politics and was now focusing on his role in the African Union where he serves as the High Representative for Infrastructure Development on the continent.
