He emphasized that he has never claimed to take the place of Raila’s family nor disrespect his widow, Ida Odingaor his children.

“Any suggestion that I insulted them, isolated them, or badmouthed them is false and malicious. I completely reject it,” he said.

How did Salah respond to online criticism?

Salah further dismissed the online accusations as political and insisted that his presence in Raila’s life was in line with the former opposition leader’s understanding.

The entrepreneur emphasized that he stood firm with the responsibilities assigned to him throughout their relationship.

He rejected attempts to portray him as a criminal amid internal party disputes while insisting that he did not force himself into Raila’s inner circle.

“I stand firm with this truth and I will not be dragged into anger or manufactured distractions. What I will not accept is being turned into a convenient criminal so that others can fight internal wars or rewrite living history… Some things are not for noise, schedule, or propaganda. Pain deserves respect, not a spectacle,” he said.

Moreover, Salah insisted that he was with the former national leader in all his pain until his last hours.

“I was with Father Raila Odinga from when he first fell ill until his last moments on earth. I was with Father in all his pain. I know how it felt. There were times when I really thought I was losing him. Times when it was just me and one guard, holding Father, trying to calm him, trying to help him through the pain. This is not a story. This is a direct experience. For the record, that security officer was not Maurice Ogeta,” he said.
