Opposition leader and former Prime Minister has for a long time been known to Kenyans as the man names and shames corruption scandals that happen in government.
However, Odinga's quite character in the Sh8 billion NYS scam has led to a section of Kenyans asking whether the doyen of Kenyan politics has lost his spark in matters condemning graft.
The question has led Kenyans to social pages leading to Odinga becoming one of the hottest trends on Twitter on Wednesday under the hashtag #ThisManRaila.
Here are some of the reactions.
Raila Odinga is in Jubilee to turn Kikuyus against Kalenjins with the hope that it will help him ascend to presidency in 2022 #ThisManRaila— Millicent nyaera (@MNyaera) May 30, 2018.
Raila has been using the luhyas as his profit making political outfit for along time ie since 1992! But now that their leaders through @MusaliaMudavadi @Wetangulam @KBonimtetezi are uniting the region he is aggravated and towards the agenda #ThisManRaila— Britte Adams (@AdamsBritte) May 30, 2018.
The same voices that hailed the Grand Coalition in 2008, only to denigrate it later are today hailing the initiative by Uhuru and Raila today, take note of these people as history tends to repeat itself when we don't learn from it....👌#ThisManRaila— Nasa Amplifier (@AmplifierNasa) May 30, 2018.
Supporting Raila Odinga is stressful, a man who does not know what he wants. Always moving back and forth like a chameleon... #ThisManRaila— True Bukusu👴 (@nasaeyewitness) May 30, 2018.
#ThisManRaila is a self-centered man..he got paid by jubilee..he's so blinded by his selfish gains that he can't see the 8billion NYS scandal like he viewed the 1.8b waiguru took.— mathew ireri🏃✴ (@I_remathew) May 30, 2018.
#ThisManRaila if Raila was not eating and benefiting from the jubilee loot,he would be holding press conferences weekly condemning corruption in jubilee,but since he was signed to jubilee academy of thieves, man has lost focus— PETERm (@thispeetah) May 30, 2018.

Raila made a deal with Moi, Raila made a deal with Kibaki, Raila made a deal with Uhuru. It was never about Kenyans then,its not about Kenyans now #ThisManRaila— Nasa Amplifier (@AmplifierNasa) May 30, 2018.
The most unpredictable leader is what #ThisManRaila is..Hope his Political maneuvers will make us reach Canaan."Si ile ya Changaa na Busaa."— Jeff Odhiambo (@JeffOdhiambo18) May 30, 2018.
