Eliud Owalo has attacked Opposition leader Raila Odinga over the just concluded ODM nominations.
Owalo was the former prime minister's aide.
In a statement shared on Facebook, he accused Raila of rigging him out of the Kibera primaries.
He said the NASA presidential candidate will pay for the “injustice” in August general election.
Owalo lost in the Kibra primaries to the incumbent MP, Ken Okoth.
Last year December, he also accused Raila of trying to impose his daughter, Rosemary Odinga, on Kibra people.
Rosemary quit the Kibra MP race following her doctor's advise.
Eliud Owalo. He has said he will not contest MP Okoth's victory in Kibera ODM primaries.
Here is Owalo’s full statement:
RAILA ODINGA’S PAY-BACK TIME IS COMING IN AUGUST 2017
I squarely blame Raila Odinga for mischievously instigating SELECTION of the ODM Parliamentary candidate for Kibra Constituency for the August 2017 elections.
I have information at my disposal that a decision had already been made by Raila himself a while back to block Owalo in Kibra based on issues which are already in the public domain. For the record, I repeat that I have no regret or apologies to make to anybody whatsoever for my past stand on Raila's parochial political interests in Kibra.
I have done a lot of soul-searching sine last night and come to the decision that because as a professional I do not want to subject myself to an environment where my fate will be subject to the level of sycophancy I portray to Raila Odinga both now and in the foreseeable future, I will mind my own business and therefore neither contest yesterday’s results nor run for the Kibra Parliamentary seat altogether in August 2017.
I’m however eagerly waiting for the results of the August 2017 Presidential elections in which I believe Raila will have no option but to come to terms with the sad reality that Malipo ni Hapa Hapa Duniani.
