Suba South Member of Parliament Caroli Omondi has stirred political debate after alleging that some individuals who were close to the late Raila Odinga were secretly working for other interests.
Speaking during a recent public address, Omondi claimed these people were not loyal to Raila in his final years.
“They never worked for Baba. Walikuwa wanajifanya wako karibu na Baba, lakini walikuwa wasaliti,” Omondi said, asserting that some of Raila’s inner circle were spies serving an unknown master.
His comments have raised eyebrows, given the respect and reverence Raila commanded within his party and the larger political landscape.
Omondi did not name the individuals he was referring to, but his statements have reignited conversations about trust, loyalty, and power dynamics within political circles.
Analysts say such revelations, whether proven or not, can influence public perception and stir emotions among supporters of Raila Odinga, who remains a revered figure in Kenyan politics.
Political watchers note that the timing of Omondi’s claims could have implications for party unity, particularly in the months leading to the 2027 general elections.
Some suggest that these allegations might deepen existing divisions, while others see them as an effort to encourage transparency and accountability among political aides.
Omondi, known for his outspoken nature, insisted that his intent was to highlight the need for vigilance and honesty among political operatives.
“It’s a lesson for all of us. Loyalty is not just about proximity but genuine service to the people and leaders we trust,” he added.
The MP’s remarks have already sparked reactions on social media, with supporters calling for investigations and critics urging caution, warning that unverified claims could destabilize political alliances.
As debates continue, many Kenyans are watching closely to see how this controversy unfolds within the corridors of power.
