The performance scorecard of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has become a subject of discussion after Deputy President William Ruto labeled him the 'Lord of poverty'.
Uasin Gishu Woman Rep Gladys Boss Shollei has now said that Raila, who doubles as an African Union Special Envoy for infrastructure development, has nothing to brag about despite having been in politics for decades.
In an interview on Citizen TV’s Day Break, Shollei said that Raila failed the people of Kibra during his tenure.
