Raila: I’m Not Rich, Only Worth Ksh2B, Uhuru Allies to Keep Off Tanga Tanga Meeting, Why Uhuru Left Ruto in Church

Good morning,

We also don’t understand how and why it is still January. It seems like 2020 has been here for ages, how comes it is only 27 days? Here are some of the key events that have happened this year.

Al Shabaab terrorists have attacked us at least four times, including in one incident where Kenyan soldiers allegedly hid in the ground leaving their American counterparts exposed.

This month alone, Tanga Tanga politicians led by their patron Deputy President William Ruto have opposed the BBI rallies, changed their mind on the same and even attended one of them.

Still, on Ruto, it seems like it is the end of the road for his presidential bid. The DP seems to be a man under siege. First, reports emerged that he was kicked out of his official residence in Mombasa. The DCI has also revived a case in which Ruto is accused of defrauding a state agency.

Last week, Ruto claimed that some of his enemies were plotting to revive the ICC case against him. The Hague-based court however, vehemently denied these claims. January 2020 could be Ruto’s worst month ever.

Locusts have invaded the North and some of the lower Eastern counties. We have tried almost every trick in the playbook to fight the dreaded insects including teargas and shooting them.

A CS was fired after he asked Kenyans to photograph the locusts and share the pictures on social media. And now our brothers from Ukambani have released a special song for the locusts, we hope this will work.

MP Babu Owino has spent one week at Industrial Area Remand Prisons. The Embakasi East MP received a special mattress from his Starehe counterpart Charles Njagua. However, the mattress couldn’t prevent Babu from falling ill at the dreaded facility.

He joins Governors Okoth Obado and Mike Sonko in the list of politicians who couldn’t withstand prison life. Why can’t they keep away from crime?

Here are the stories making headlines on Opera News:

Raila: I am Not Rich, Only Worth Ksh 2B

ODM leader Raila Odinga has said he is not rich as he is only worth Ksh 2B.

“They are saying I am so rich, which is not true,” he responded to a question on his wealth, saying he thinks he is just worth Ksh2 billion.

Raila was speaking on Sunday in an interview with NTV.

“That is not very rich. That 2B is in terms of properties,” he added, noting that his Karen house is worth about Ksh300 million.

A section of Jubilee MPs allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta has snubbed a retreat organised by the deputy president’s camp, arguing that it had been disguised as a forum on constitutional reforms.

The lawmakers dismissed the meeting that opens today in Naivasha as selfish and out to divide the country through holding parallel gatherings to the ongoing Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) rallies.

Some of DP William Ruto’s allies had claimed that the meeting planned to start this morning would serve as the ruling party’s Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting.
