Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has elicited sharp remarks following a statement he made concerning the planned doctors strike.
The former PM stated: "Doctors need to be more understanding, we are in crisis at the momen, people are dying, it's not only doctors who are dying. We are in a dire situation as the economy is hurting during the Covid-19 pandemic."
Kenyans online were appalled by the statement terming it as insensitive.
Lawyer Miguna Miguna tweeted: "Conman Raila Odinga's callous statement that 'it's not only doctors who are dying' as a way of justifying the theft and criminal diversion of billions of public money meant for Personal Protective Equipment by #BBINonsense advocates elevates Raila to the realm of A WILD ANIMAL."
Rachel Ruto is no stranger to making bold yet elegant fashion statements, but during the state visit of the Dutch royals on March 18, 2025, it wasn’t just her outfit that stood out—it was her shoes. The Kenyan First Lady stepped out in a pair of brown suede block heels adorned with a gold emblem.
Khalif Kairo and his former business partner Clement Kinuthia are locked in a heated exchange of accusations, with Kairo now alleging that Clement not only cheated on his wife but also had an affair with his (Kairo’s) girlfriend. The car dealer also revealed that he is currently single, but will introduce a new lady once he resolves the issues surrounding his business.
The health care workers are justified to go on strike. The working conditions are pathetic, then we have Raila talking like he did, is really irksome. If you knew the details of their greavances and had a patient to experience, you'd not even think twice about it
These are just mad men.Doctors shouldn't have suspended their strike. How can Ojamong & Raila speak to a doctor who hasn't been payed his/her salary for five good months, like that?
True Raila said what he said, but it's sad people know what he means but go ahead and take his statements out of context, even mainstream media have joined this spinning band wagon. After all, there's one bottom line, they count on your gullibility. #BBINonsense
