Here is a list of Raila Odinga 5 most trusted allies

The only magic towards attracting Raila’s confidence is through consistent support. Those who have wavered in supporting him have lost the trust bestowed upon them.

Raila Odinga’s favored friends

  1. Junet Mohamed: The Suna East law maker is purportedly the most trusted political ally of Raila. Junet was the only ODM member who accompanied the Party Leader during the much hyped handshake, alongside Raila’s daughter Winnie. Most of Raila’s friends, including Orengo, were not aware of the handshake until the news was publicized. Junet is the current National Assembly minority whip courtesy of ODM.

  2. Ali Hassan Joho: He is the most loyal supporter of Raila Odinga. He recently shelved his presidential ambitions and has started campaigning for Raila. He hosted the opposition leader after the infamous ‘swearing in’ at Uhuru Park. 

  3. SK Macharia: The proprietor of Royal Media SK Macharia has shown his open support to Raila’s quest for presidency for a long time. Macharia was among those who attended Raila’s event at Villa Rosa Kempiski where he was honored for his contribution to democracy.

  4. Gladys Wanga: The Homa Bay County women representative is perhaps one of the key figures in Raila’s inner circle. She is among the few who always accompany Raila in various fora, and even given chance to speak.

  5. TJ Kajwang’: The Ruaraka legislator is among the list of Raila’s trusted allies. Kajwang’ just as his late brother Otieno Kajwang’ is a political comedian with an instinct to entertain people in a gathering. Owing to his public theatrics, he is among the notable figures who accompany Raila in various public rallies. Kajwang alongside Miguna Miguna took part in the illegal swearing in of Raila and was charged with treason. However, the case was thrashed by the courts.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

As 2022 succession battle gains momentum in Kenya, leaders drawn from Mt Kenya region have become more concerned of their political future and survival. Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents. It boosts about the tyranny of numbers, thus making the region a battle ground for leaders from other region seeking to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.  Central alone produced Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta as presidents. The only other Kenyan president drawn out of the region was Daniel Arap Moi. In the recent past, the region has gone against the tide of State operatives as a sign of revolt over what they term as negligence from the government, despite electing one of their own to the much coveted seat.  Deputy President William Ruto has taken advantage of the brewing rebellion through making serious political forays in Central and its vicinity. ODM leader Rail...
