Raila Claims Foreign Powers and Multinationals Rigged Him Out

ODM leader Raila Odinga has claimed that foreign powers influenced the outcome of the August 9th presidential election, which was won by President Ruto.

Odinga, who contested the election under the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party, said foreign powers and multinationals with vested interests in the country played a role in his defeat. He alleged that the “African right-wing” conspired with “the international monopoly capital” to influence the outcome of the election.

“What we had was a coup d’état. You even saw the chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission run to announce the results as some of his commissioners denounced the outcome, yet he was celebrated as a hero. They cannot allow that to happen anywhere else in Africa,” Odinga said as quoted by Nation.

“The international community could not condemn Mr Chebukati's actions because they knew what had happened. The African right-wing has always been in conspiracy with the international monopoly capital since independence and Kenyans must be prepared to further sacrifice to win this struggle.”

Odinga was speaking on Thursday evening during the launch of a book published by ODM executive director Oduor Ong’wen at the National Museum of Kenya. He was the chief guest at the event.

His claims were backed Ong’wen, who pointed out that the Azimio coalition lost the election because of "vested interests by the international community". 

“Our election was not stolen by Kenya. It was an international conspiracy...They long knew what they wanted and that was that they did not want another Magufuli in Africa,” said Ong’wen.

Ruto was declared the winner of the August 9th presidential election after garnering 7,176,141, representing 50.49 percent of the total votes.

Odinga secured 6,942,930 votes (48.85 percent), followed by Roots Party candidate George Wajackoyah (61,969 votes) and David Mwaure of Agano Party (31,987 votes).

In a famous social support group, members are taught to chant "Lord give me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference". Raila has lost how many times now? He needs to pay attention to those words or ataanza kuokota makaratasi barabarani Gikomba Nairobi.

Jamani! Ni siku gani amabyo tutaamka na kuwacha kuwalaumu "wageni" kwa kuangamiza misimamo yetu na maoni yetu?

Sisi twapenda kuiga (imitate) fikira za wageni kwa karibu kila jambo katika nchi yetu.

Kwa nini mpaka sasa:

1. Tungali (we still have) na majina ya kigeni!
2. Tungali na imani za kigeni na kudharau za asili yetu!
3. Tungali tukifuata mifumo ya siasa ya kigeni (democracy) ambayo ilibuniwa na WaYunani (Greek) waliokuwa na watumwa (slaves) ambao hawakuruhusiwa kupiga kura! Wanawake walikubaliwa kupiga kura katika nchi ya Marekani 1920 na Uingereza 1928 na huku walikuwa wakiimba wimbo wa "democracy" kama mfumo ulio bora katika siasa duniani kote. Hebu tazama yaliyotendeka katika nchi ya Marekani 2020 ambapo rais aliyeshindwa kwenye uchaguzi alituma majambazi kujaribu kukomesha rais wa halali alipokuwa akiraisishwa tarehe 6, Januari, 2021.
4. Tungali tukiamini kula chakula kisichofaa kuliwa na binadamu kama ulaji wa mahinndi ya GMO!

Ukitaka kuheshimiwa, ni lazima ujiheshimu kwanza.

Raila is still very influential.

He cannot be wished away & he cannot just go to Bondo.

He should use his influence to do projects that are not connected to the government of Kenya.

Shauri zao.

@ Guesty, if he is a true patriot, he should quit bell aching and do what you are saying. There are many ways to effect productive change, with the profile and influence he has,And who knows, that might just make his 6th bite at the cherry a charm.

Mugor,
Your memory is very low. Did Uhuru attend debate in 2017 elections?
Ruto has displayed us Kalenjins as crooks who fake documents, steal votes, corrupt, etc. We must change. We can't build enmity with other tribes just because of one person.

Jamani! Tusisahau ya kwamba, kama Wafula Chebukati angalifuata kanuni na masharti yaliyomo kwenye Katiba Mpya ya Kenya Sura ya 6, Ndugu Samoei na Raila hawangaliruhusiwa kugombea kiti cha urais nchini.

Mimi niliandika hapo mapema kabla ya uchaguzi wa rais ya kwamba, sitamtambua Samoei au Raila akichaguliwa kuwa rais wa Kenya. Kwa nini? Vitendo vyao viovu walivyofanya haviwaruhusu kuwa rais wa Kenya.
Ndugu Raila alihusika kwenye mapinduzi ya serikali halali mwaka wa 1982. Naye Ndugu Samoei alihusika kwenye uteketezaji wa watoto, akina mama, na wazee 37 katika Kanisa la PCEA la Kiambaa huko Eldoret.
Mpaka sasa, hakuna hata mtu mmoja aliyeshikwa na kupelekwa mahakani na kuhukumiwa ipasavyo.
Mwishowe, ningependa kuwaomba WaKenya wajenge Jumba la Makumbusho (museum) la kuwakumbuka wote waliopoteza maisha yao (37) kanisani mwaka wa 2007.
Hayati Mwanafilosifia George Santayana alisema:
“ Yaliyotendeka hapo awali huja yakatendeka tena iwapo watu wameamua kuyasahau.”
