Opposition leader Raila Odinga has denied claims that the handshake between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta had an aim of rocking Jubilee party from within for his own benefit.

Instead, Raila, who spoke in an interview with Kameme FM on Thursday, said the DP had a right to speak about him because it's his constitutional right to do so.

“He has a right to speak his mind. I'm not in Jubilee but ODM. I have not entered Jubilee and not attended any conference. I don’t attend Cabinet meetings. ODM, just like Jubilee, Wiper and ANC, have their own problems,” said Raila in response to claims that he was rocking the Jubilee boat.

He added: “There must be resistance. The noise we hear is like someone with a wound; when you prick and use hot water, it pains. After all, these wrangles will end and there will be stability.”

For the past one year, DP Ruto and a section of MPs allied to him have accused Mr Odinga of having an intention to dismantle Jubilee from within for his own benefit.

Last week, Ruto accused Mr Odinga of boxing him out of Jubilee using non existing scandals but vowed to tackle him all the time when he makes such attempts.

"You kicked me out of ODM. We are now clever. Such plans will not succeed in Jubilee. We are used to your secret plots to bring confusions to parties."
