The Kenyan media has once again come under scathing attack from Raila Odinga's ODM party over alleged looming cabinet reshuffle by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
On Friday, it's reported that Uhuru summoned all Cabinet Secretaries to Mombasa and is expected to meet Raila, now is main partner on Saturday.
Through ODM Communication Director Philip Etale, Mr Odinga has dismissed media reports that he could have schemed to have the Cabinet reshuffles with Uhuru.
He said: " This happens world over and Heads of State and Governments often do reshuffles in their administrations perhaps to enhance efficiency and good service delivery among others.This is not an exception for Uhuru Kenyatta. He has a government he runs and controls. If he wants to make changes, it is his prerogative to do so.
"So for anyone to associate Hon. Raila Odinga with such decisions is just but becoming malicious. RAO does not run the government and if people want to settle their political scores by dragging him into their internal problems, then Kenyans can only be sorry with them. Raila and Uhuru are friends, brothers and leaders. However, this should not stop the President from discharging his duties. So leave Raila out of this. Such propaganda is not healthy at all," he added. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156801737387170&id=768747169
Last year in July, Raila and Uhuru met in the Coast and it hear that speculations about cabinet reshuffle emerged. In fact, Sports CS Rashid Echesa accused Raila of allegedly plotting to have him sacked from cabinet.
