Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga has dragged his main competitor Deputy President William Ruto into the debate on the high cost of living.

Mr Odinga was with his running mate Martha Karua as they crisscrossed Nyeri County yesterday. He said Dr Ruto contributed to skyrocketing food prices in 2009 when he (Mr Odinga) was the Prime Minister and Ruto was Agriculture minister.
