Opposition leader Raila Odinga used a meeting in Deputy President William Ruto’s home turf to criticise him over frequent church donations and to revive the scandal on dams whose project cost, he claimed, was grossly inflated.

In a thinly veiled attack, Raila, who spoke in Elgeyo Marakwet County asked the DP to explain to churches the source of his wealth.
