I am not Interested in being Governor of Nairobi - Raila Odinga.

The Raila Odinga Secretariat is aware of information doing the rounds that Hon Raila Odinga is interested in being Governor of Nairobi should the seat be declared vacant.


We wish to clarify that Mr Odinga is currently fully engaged in the job of listening to the people of Kenya who are going through myriad problems, from insecurity, to stifling corruption and ever rising cost of living.


Mr. Odinga has no interest or aspirations to do anything other than being the people’s envoy. His greatest aspiration currently is to be the best voice he can be for the people of Kenya and to push the government to listen to Kenyans. It is more than enough to keep him busy and has no plan to be candidate for governor.

Mr Odinga supports Governor Evans Kidero and wishes him success in the court case facing him. He calls on the people of Kenya to ignore the empty political chatter and stay focused on having the government address their concerns.

DENNIS ONYANGO,
THE RAILA ODINGA SECRETARIAT;
