Hon Raila Amollo Odinga is with no doubt unreachable. His Security detail is with no doubt among the tightest ever . All this can be given credit to the handshake which brought a complete turn around for the former opposition leader.
The AU representative for Infrastructure is always surrounded by 12 body guards whenever he steps outside. Not just ordinary body guards but heavily armed body guards.
Raila is also enjoying having 4 more armed officers at his listed homes, most known ones being his Karen home in Nairobi and his rural home at Opoda Farm in Bondo, Siaya County.
The officers are heavily trained by the elite General Service Unit (GSU).
However, according to Lawyer Paul Mwangi who is a close ally of the Orange Party chief, Raila is entitled to the same and is not being done any favour.
“Mzee (Raila) is only getting what he is entitled to as a retired prime minister. I don’t think there are extra privileges given to him,” he told the Standard.
Raila is yet to come clear on the tightened security around him and his premises, at a time when he appears closer to Uhuru courtesy of their joint attendance at functions lately.
