Has Raila abandoned ODM supporters? When was the last time he was seen in Kibera? He has never visited families of those who were killed during last year’s fracas, has he?
But he has been busy visiting Jubilee supporters in the name of the handshake. On Thursday, the ODM leader visited Kiambu Jubilee spokesman Nginyo Kariuki on Thursday at his Red Hill home to wish him a quick recovery after he fell ill.
Raila also delivered best wishes from President Uhuru Kenyatta. The Opposition chief lauded Kariuki for his immense contribution in protecting the environment.
“Tunamshukuru sana kwa kutukaribisha hapa na kwa kulinda mazingira yetu. Tukiharibu mazingira yetu hakuna uhai kwa nchi,” he said.
(We thank him for hosting us and for protecting our environment. If we destroy our environment there is no life).
Paid a visit this afternoon to businessman and former opposition politician Nginyo Kariuki at his home in Kiambu, where he is recuperating after recent hospitalization. We wish him a speedy and full recovery. pic.twitter.com/VHdTYcdWX7

“Climate change is real and it is affecting the whole world,” Raila said.
Raila said the Building Bridges task force formed after the March 9 handshake between him and President Uhuru seeks to unite Kenyans.
“Tunataka kuona kama wakenya wanaungana pamoja hio ndio maana ya BBI, kuunganisha makabila yote ya Kenya,” he said.
(We want to see all Kenyans live in peace and that is the sole purpose of the task force. To bring together all tribes of Kenya).
His visit however did not go down well with some of his followers.
Yeah it’s true, he should also visit his friends in kibera in the same spirit. He haven’t gone there since the handshake and we miss him.

You can still doing it without making it public. I believe he needed more sympathy while he was hospitalized but of course visiting Kiambu is political.
