I Expected President Uhuru to Welcome Me with a Red-Carpet at JKIA, a 'Disappointed' Raila Says

National Super Alliance (NASA)leader Raila Odinga says he was disappointed in the manner in which President Uhuru treated him following his return from a 10-day trip to the United States.

Speaking at Upper Hill area in Nairobi after a long day from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport into the city center, the Orange Democratic Movement leader said he expected a VIP treatment from President Uhuru. He said he would have been welcomed by the President himself at JKIA and with a red carpet reception.

“I am disappointed with Uhuru Kenyatta. I expected him to come and welcome me at the airport. But he has sent these boys to teargas me for no reason at all. These are some of the things we are fighting against,” Raila explained.

He continued: "This (police response) is a sign of a crumbling regime. The third liberation is unstoppable."

Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, who accompanied Raila alleged that members of an outlawed Mungiki group were used to wreck-havoc on opposition supporters.

“The Police and GSU have been deployed to frustrate us but failed. When we got to Muthurwa Matiang’i (Interior Secretary) sent Mungiki. This is why the government must fall,” said Khalwale.

Yes it is. Look at him posing in that picture you would think he is 35 years. Dyed hair, stricking a pose, how quickly would he bolt out of the car if hit by tear gas?

Hi buddy. since you're keeping up with the scores and all, Here's a breakdown. His proper name is President Uhuru Kenyatta. he really did mean to have you inspect the guard of honor.
1, As you sow, he did send police to welcome you ✅ (you just messed it up, again)
2, He did have fireworks 💥 for ya ✅ (Somehow the fireworks got mixed up with the tear gas)
3,and you did get a chance to have all this caught on tape ✅ (we know you do like that kinda thing
but your so 💱➿➰ ungrateful 🤦🏻‍♂️)
3, Red carpet? you got jokes too and that's why I like you. You know that was really never gonna happen ❌💔. Red carpet treatment is usually reserved for Presidents of which you are not‼️ Mr. Raila Odinga.

You would think this Jubilee government would be busy building the nation yet they seem obsessed with Baba.Why because he reminds them that they are clinging to power by force and now they refuse to entertain talks of secession.You do not want Baba nor does Baba want you .Sawa tukubaliane.Why do you keep taking the lives of regular folk like do not matter all the while spreading the myth that NASA is a party of chaos.All lives matter in Kenya.Those policemen and GSU sent to the airport were up to no good .Negative publicity is not helping this so called government.

As for me, all I want is a red mkeka when I arrive at the airport. Uhuru can stay in State House.

Dang, every ordinary Kenyan should get a red carpet welcome even when they return from a trip to Kampala or Juba! brary???

You expected Uhuru to meet you at the airport as who?His buddy?
You are not serious, with all those attacks,and abuses you have piled on him and his regime,even the holly father would not come to meet you.You utterance surely shows that you are a clown.

The good news of "third liberation" had to come from abroad? I thought Okao kenya was about liberation? unless of course it had to be taken abroad for translation: Okoa=liberate. This kind of trial and error on part of leaders translates into trial by fire to their followers and more so their sycophants. I have always mused why every time nasa needs a boost they go to kibra if this is not exploitation of the poor. Asubuhi kibra, lunch hour kibra, week day kibra, sunday kibra why? why? why kibra?
Every week in their faithfulness, they are manipulated into "new" beginnings, "major" declaration and false prophesy. Let kibra rest, they have sacrificed enough pick another region-Kenya nikubwa yawa!

Uhuru: Why are you so stubborn? Today in Harare thousands of people protested and there wasn't a single policeman on sight!

Why are you moving tanks against your fellow citizens and killing them? I thought that you are a Yeshuan/Christian!

Why are you ordering your robots (policeman) to kill even pregnant women and children? Doesn't your god say, "Thou shall not kill?"

Why do you hate the Luos the same way your father did?

I kindly and politely ask you and your arch enemy Raila to retire from the Kenyan politics! When? Today. You and your friend Ruth will go in history as the two worst leaders in the entire history! Is this what you want to be your legacy?

@Kenya:

Is it fair for Uhuru to command his robots (policemen) to kill innocent babies and a pregnant woman who were not even demonstrating on the streets?
