Kalonzo, Wetangula Were Not Detained at JKIA on Thursday Contrary to Raila's Claims, Says Immigration Director
Major Gen (Rtd) Gordon Kihalangwa, the Immigration Director at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declined claimed by National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga that NASA co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula were temporarily detained at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Thursday morning and prevented from traveling to Uganda.
In a statement to the media, Kihalangwa said at no point were the two prevented from boarding their Entebbe-bound flight at JKIA, adding that Kalonzo called him to ask if they needed clearance prior to traveling, and that Kihalangwa informed him they did not. “I categorically told him [Kalonzo] no and he said it is okay. They finally departed at 1105hrs for Entebbe without any hitch,” Kihalangwa said.
Kihalangwa said Kalonzo and Wetangula boarded their flight to Entebbe on time after passing through the normal immigration process at the airport.
“The PA for Hon Kalonzo Musyoka, after settling him returned to do the usual immigration requirements of having the passports endorsed. As expected, the Immigration officers would check the systems, and they were checked accordingly,” Kihalangwa said in a statement to the press.
Raila Odinga has on Thursday claimed that the government had detained his co-principals, accusing state House of suing illegal maneuvers to intimidate the opposition.
“The attempts to prohibit opposition leaders from leaving the county and to control their movement through State House clearances are illegitimate manoeuvres by an increasingly paranoid regime,” said Raila in a press statement.
“The Kenyan Opposition must remain free as a legitimate part and parcel of the Kenyan political landscape and be allowed and enabled to pursue its mandate as an alternative government and voice of the people in line with the Constitution,” added Odinga.
The prupose of the trip is to attend a graduation ceremony at Uganda Technology and Management University, which Kalonzo will be presiding. He is the chancellor of the institution.

Desperation has it's limits. You cannot alienate hordes of people and institutions and expect to peddle lies without being called out. Baba, quit your senile, fervent feverish fetish with throwing mud and rocks at everything hoping to score some points. Most will echo back to you. I am strongly thinking to quit even referring to you as baba. And hopefully no Guest will intrude our conversation.

Liar,liar,liar.This lad and cry baby need to get his stupid ass together and quit behaving like a kid.Why would he call a presser and lie to the world.I thought this idiot was 75 years old now and his silly ass should know better when it comes to telling lies and truth.
No wonder he still remains a kihii because that is what they do at best.What else has he lied about? That he is a Joshua taking his blind followers to a fake Canaan? Conning Kenyans out of their hard earned money through his M-Pesa account.Ojinga is a true Lord of Poverty and a political conman/prostitute.

With no money to campaign, Raila's strategy is simple. Put out at least one outrageous statement every day until the repeat poll. I am sure we will hear some repeated, like NIS, KDF, Kenya Police etc. plotting to rig him out...

@Okula-- stop your bs nonsense about your senile baba being detained by Moi because he was leading second liberation! This troublemaker was detained because he led the 1982 attempted coup against a duly elected government of President Moi. Perhaps, if it were not for illegal and reckless action of this self-centered fool greasy for power, Moi would not have become such a ruthless dictator!! When the Luo community consume every stupid nonsense that their lord and King of poverty utters without questioning their conscious, then they foolishly put their lives and those of other innocent law abiding Kenyans into unnecessary danger. Now this reckless demagogue has found a strong Lion and Warrior to tame him and cut him down to his size! Go National Warrior CS Matiangi --- if the self-serving demagogue brings fujo, lock him the rest of his life! It's a high time this lord and King of poverty realized that he can fool his Luo hooligans all the time, but he can't fool the majority of Kenyans anymore as he did in 2007/08.
