Although he has vehemently denied pushing his allies for state jobs, Raila Odinga may find it difficult to defend that position anymore.
In fact, lately, the former premier has been a frequent guest to State House with the most recent coming on Friday where he paid President Uhuru Kenyatta a courtesy call with his Bulding Bridges Task Force team.
And in Uhuru's latest appointments, a number of people working closely with Raila were not left behind perhaps due to the spirit of handshake.
Norman Magaya, Raila's chief strategist and NASA boss, will now move away from Capitol Hill to Kenya Film and Classification Board where he will take charge of stage plays.
Last year, Magaya's hard stand against Jubilee cost him EALA appointment after the president's team ganged against him.
Dr. Robert Arunga, another famous figure in Orange House, has been appointed to take charge of Technical University of Mombasa.
Mr. Arunga has been Secretary to ODM elections board secretary, a body that has been on spot for a long time.
Also in the lucky list is David Osiany, a political pundit close to the opposition party who will now now Chemilil Sugar board.
Others are Eva Msando, a widow to former IEBC ICT manager Chris Msando who joins Export Processing Zone and Christine Atieno Otieno.
