Winnie Odinga has 'not yet' been appointed Raila Odinga's Personal Secretary in the African Union assignment, a top ranking ODM official has said.
Photos of Ms. Odinga taking notes in her father's first formal meeting as High Representative for Infrastructural Development went viral with blogger Robert Alai accusing Raila of nepotism.
"Raila's assistant in his new appointment is his daughter, the incompetent but blindly greedy, Winnie Odinga. A complete waste of time and effort. Will achieve NOTHING!" he said.
Mr. Odinga is in South Africa regional offices where he is holding a series of meetings on trans-national railways across Africa.
And party lawyer Tony Moturi termed the information circulating online pertaining Ms. Odinga's appointment as fraudulent, adding that it was being advanced by people with secret agenda.
"The information is fraudulent and no such appointment has been made yet. And in any case, it's AU which is responsible for staffing his offices."
In recent weeks, Raila has been attending high profile meetings with his youngest daughter, Winnie, including his meeting with former US boss Barack Obama in Nairobi.
She's at pole position to join politics after her elder sister Rosemary Odinga bolted out after she was detected with brain tumour.
