ODM leader Raila Odinga now claims that it was President William Ruto who approached him for a corporation agreement and not the other way around.
The former Prime Minister was speaking during the burial of the late Kimani Waiyaki in Muthiga, Kiambu County where he maintained that he will continue fighting the welfare of Kenyans and that he has not abandoned his course.
“Watu wengi wanapiga kelele hapa na pale ati ooh, Raila alienda kwa Ruto, ametuwacha…mimi sijaenda kwa Ruto, Ruto ndio amekuja kwangu,” he said

Raila continued by reminding those in attendance that his political journey has been marked by fighting for Kenyans, something that he will continue doing.
He continued by giving examples where he led demonstrations against the high cost of living, electoral malpractices, formation of IEBC and corruption and tribalism in government.
“Mimi msimamo wangu haujabadilika, kitu muhimu zaidi kutoka nizaliwe mpaka sasa, nimekuwa nikipigania haki ya Wakenya. Mliona mwaka uliopita tulitoka sisi sote tulikuwa kwa barabara tukipigania Wakenya tukisema gharama ya maisha imepanda, fungueni server, mambo ya ufisadi imezidi, ukabila umezidi…si tulisema hayo yote?
Mpaka baadaye tukaunda jopo kazi ya NADCO report. Jamaa walikuwa wanasitasita baadaye vijana wakajitokeza, Gen Z wakaingia kwa barabara. Hao watu wakatuma polisi wakaenda kupiga watoto na kuwaua; mpaka wakatoa hadi jeshi. Baadaye wakalazimika kuvunja serikali wakaunda ingine mpya.” he said
The news comes at a time when the former Prime Minister has been accused of siding with the government for alleged selfish reasons when Kenyans are experiencing high cost of living among others due to government policies.
