The county leader has been criticized by politicians from all sides of the political divide due to his careless remarks.
In a press conference on Wednesday, October 22, the county leader defended his comments, saying he did not celebrate Raila’s death.
“What I meant is that under the current broad-based government, we have seen political progress and the loss of Raila Odinga to return everyone to the board of organizers. As the popular saying goes, God is the best and it is in this context that I made those remarks in the local languages. The remarks I made are my personal opinion and there is no way to be associated with the position of the community or any political issue that this Council does not have a strong political ideology. To be produced, I take a meaningful role real and recognizable of my remarks,” Kahiga said.
