A section of leaders from Nyanza defended Cord leader Raila Odinga over attacks from President Uhuru Kenyatta regarding the fight against corruption.
Led by Homa Bay politician Sammy Wakiaga, the leaders stated that Odinga was doing what was good for the country by revealing corruption scandals in the government.
“Raila Odinga has only been raising mistakes on issues of national importance and those which the President could rectify instead of tongue-lashing against the Opposition boss,” said Wakiaga.
“Raila Odinga is a whistleblower and the president should act quickly on the scandals that have come up. Let him kick out the corrupt officials hiding behind his government."
Wakiaga, who has declared an interest in the Homa Bay County gubernatorial seat, made the remarks during a fundraising in Bondo constituency.
