Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s orders to Kenya Ports Authority to suspend dredging activities on the shores of Indian Ocean has drawn strong reactions.

A section of leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto is now demanding clarification on Raila’s role in the Government, with fingers pointing to the handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
