Raila Claims Assassination Attempt After His Car was Shot at Seven Times
Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party leader Raila Odinga claims there was an attempt on his life during their anti-government protests in Nairobi on Thursday.
Odinga said his car was shot at seven times with live bullets in what he believes was a direct attempt by President Ruto’s administration to assassinate him.
Addressing the press in Karen on Thursday evening, he accused Ruto’s government of taking the country back to colonial times by meting violence on peaceful demonstrators who are merely exercising their rights.
“We condemn in the strongest terms possible what has happened today. Today is a very sad day in the history of this country. This shows that we’re degenerating into the colonial stage, where lives of Africans did not matter at all, because there’s no reason why police should use this kind of force against unarmed citizens who are merely exercising their democratic rights,” he said.
Odinga hit out at Western nations, accusing them of fanning the conflict by standing on the fence and failing to take sides.
“My own car was hit seven times with live bullets, and the direction of the bullets were all aimed at me. These people have been threatening and blackmailing us, unfortunately, the friends of this country are not helping. Look at the statement released by some ambassador based here, you would think that they live in a different country; they’re actually adding fuel to this conflict, instead of being independent and neutral arbiters,” he added.
He also condemned attacks on journalists during Thursday’s protests where four reporters from different media stations were hospitalized after attacks by goons and police.
“It is very unfortunate that in the whole of these skirmishes, the media is being targeted for attack. The other day and today, several journalists have been injured,” he said.
“We also had information that they were planning to attack Uhuru’s farm, business, and residences.”

Old frustrated man and his theatrics!!
Raila is on stage with his drama.
What does Raila's history look like?
- 1982 he is on stage planning a coup
- We see him swearing himself in as people's president using a Bible ( mocking God)... making God and our government part of his drama.
- We see Raila wearing church costume acting as an Apostle.. reducing church leaders to just actors.
- we see Raila delivering empty boxes in a Lorry as evidence to Supreme Court...making our Supreme Court part of his drama.
- We see Raila at Matiang's home shouting to the top his voice - telling lies....
- All these past drama is what is haunting Raila, he sees ghosts trying to shoot him.
- Kenya is following a mad man with his Madness.
Raila knows he is not a capable leader, but like a spoiled child wants attention and wants NUSU MKATE so his dramas can continue.
Finally, all his charcter and what he has been about will be dramatized and put on display before he finally retires.
No one in the government was shooting him. If his car was shot at, it was by his goons as part of his drama. No one else.
And so the drama continues.....

Silas Kemboi is the police officer who fired teargas in the car carrying the journalists. A typical Kalenjin bandit.
He is a regular customer with prostitutes in Nairobi. He is a prostitute too.
He grew up in rural areas in Riftvalley. His family have questions to answer.

You have outlived your usefulness. It's time our Lakeside Brothers & Sisters free yourself from this family intimidation and political enslavement.

Raila, if anything, Biwott would have killed you long time ago. Stop faking.
You once reported that there was an attempt on your, but based on the reports we go, your driver hit a road sign, could this be staged too.
Kenya has marksmen,7 bullets are way too many to miss a target. Kenyans are not that stupid.
