Raila told to quit politics and focus on new job

NASA leader Raila Odinga has been urged to quit politics and focus on his new role as African Union Representative for Infrastructure Development.

Speaking in Uasin Gishu during a fundraiser on Sunday, a section of legislators argued that it was high time Odinga retired from politics.

Those who pushed for this agenda were Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu), Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu), Didimus Barasa (Kimilili) and Oscar Sudi (Kapsaret).

“Raila has been in politics for a long time and his new role is far much bigger.

“He should leave politics to us juniors and focus on his new job,” stated Nyoro.

These sentiments were echoed by Barasa who said Odinga’s new role does not allow him to actively participate in politics.

“The kind of job Raila has been given in South Africa doesn’t allow him to participate in politics, he should leave politics to us,” added Barasa.

Former Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale on his part stated that the ODM leader’s time had elapsed and should prepare youth to take over.

 “An old man is not allowed to dance with young people, Raila played dance with Matiba, Moi, and Kibaki, he should quit now because his time is over,” said Khalwale.
