Raila Odinga Tours Kakamega County

NASA leader Raila Odinga revealed those who have been financing his numerous trips.

Odinga who was addressing ODM delegates at Gold Hotel in Kakamega County, stated that his expenses are usually catered for by individuals and institutions which host him wherever he goes.

He further divulged that even when invited to foreign countries to deliver lectures especially in Universities, those particular institutions settle all his expenses.

“I have been to Nigeria, London, Mexico and many other places to give lectures at universities and my hosts always cater for my bills,” he affirmed.

Mr Odinga dismissed claims made by Majority Leader in the National Assembly, Aden Duale, that the opposition leader was receiving monthly stipends from ODM governors.

Duale earlier asserted that he had evidence to prove that Odinga was benefiting from alleged corruption in different counties as exposed by a report from Auditor General Tom Ouko.

At the same time, the former Prime Minister hit out at President Uhuru Kenyatta telling him to stop looking for scapegoats after failing in the fight against corruption.

He accused Kenyatta of frustrating devolution and falling short of his 2013 election pledges.

President Kenyatta told off Odinga for what he described as always criticising the Jubilee government and not allowing him (Kenyatta) execute his mandate.

He decried the NASA leader's tendency of always condemning corruption when it came to the National Government but shying away when graft touched on opposition counties.
