According to Ngunyi, Raila had some expectations after his January 30 swearing-in at Uhuru Park.

Through his YouTube channel, Ngunyi claimed that Odinga was expecting to be arrested by the government as  a way of keeping his political flame burning.

He stated that Uhuru’s silence has baffled Odinga regarding his next move politically.

“His (Uhuru’s) silence is so loud and as they say, silence annoys even the devil. When Uhuru refused to arrest him, he got confused, and if this is so, then Uhuru should keep it that way,” said Ngunyi.

The government has resorted to arresting individuals who were associated with the event.

The crackdown led to the arrest and deportation of National Ressistance Movement self declared general Miguna Miguna.
