Uhuru’s Close ally has accused Raila Odinga for lying about Uhuru Kenyatta’s involvement in the deal he made with President William Ruto to join government.
Jeremiah Kioni, who is a close associate of Uhuru’s circle and the Secretary General of Jubilee has come out to accuse Raila of lying to kenyans about his deal with Ruto and told him to live with his political mistakes.

This comes after Raila Odinga claimed that Uhuru Kenyatta, through a phone call, had urged him to engage with Ruto to address the national crisis exacerbated by Gen Z protests.
According to Odinga, the country was on the brink of collapse due to the unrest, and Kenyatta had allegedly pressed him to facilitate dialogue with Ruto to restore stability.
Kioni, however, described these claims as misleading and inaccurate citing a letter that Uhuru Kenyatta wrote to urge leaders to listen to the voice of the people instead of killing innocent lives.
“Kenyatta’s stance is clear: he opposes joining a government responsible for causing widespread hardship and corruption. The notion that Kenyatta would endorse a partnership with Ruto’s administration is fundamentally flawed.”
Kioni suggested that Odinga’s move to form a broad-based government was a mistake and should not use and drag other people’s names into his mistakes in a bid to shift blame to others for his own mistakes.

“Dragging other people’s names through the mud does not absolve you of your own poor decisions. When you make a mistake, it’s important to own up to it rather than shifting the blame. Odinga’s claims about Kenyatta’s supposed encouragement to engage with Ruto are simply not true.”
