At 73 years, NASA Raila Odinga is at the twilight of his illustrious political career spanning over three decades. However, the former Prime Minister has left his opponents guessing on when he is exactly planning to hang his boots.
However, while speaking on Tuesday when he met businessman Chris Kirubi at his Loresho home, the ODM leader said that he will call it a day on his political career once he accomplishes his mission to create a united Kenya.
"If every Kenyan can move around the country freely and be able to realize their potential, I will feel I would have lived a useful life in this country," said Raila.
While preaching the gospel of unity, he asked Kenyans to live with harmony, a sentiment that was backed by his host, Dr. Kirubi who promised to invest in Kisumu, the epicenter of the 2017 post-election violence that claimed several lives.
The billionaire businessman termed Kisumu, Raila's political turf, as an area with a huge economic potential . He however asked locals to embrace peace to win investor confidence.
Mr. Odinga's statement comes at a time 2022 politics is starting to take shape amid claims that he might make another stab at Presidency having come short four times before.
