Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot has launched a scathing attack on ODM Party leader Raila Odinga's presidential candidature, claiming that the former premier willl never set foot in State House.
In an opinion editorial published with The Star Newspaper on Sunday, the legislator further rubbished Opposition alliance NASA's unveiling of Mr Odinga as the outfit's presidential candidate, terming the decision "inconsequential."
"The unveiling of Raila Odinga as the NASA presidential flag bearer and Kalonzo Musyoka as his running mate is no news at all.It is something we in Jubilee expected. It has zero impact. It was just a confirmation of the obvious," he quipped.
"Raila has made several attempts to become the CEO of the Republic, starting his journey in 1997, 2007 and 2013, and on all these attempts performing miserably.His supporters label him “the best President that Kenya never had”.But he never will be President," he added.
Mr Odinga is set to give the presidency a third stab during the August polls.
