Keep your mouth shut - Raila tells off US Ambassador Meg Whitman

“Tell the rogue Ambassador Kenya is not the United States and it is not a colony of the United States; keep your mouth shut while here, otherwise, we will call for your recall back to your country,” the Azimio chief said.

Mr. Odinga’s remarks come after similar ones by Azimio MPs who faulted the envoy, with some of them imploring her to retract her comments which they said were against the USs support for democracy.

The legislators also claimed that Whitmans remarks could undermine the ongoing national talks.

Ambassador Whitman, while speaking at the opening of the same Devolution Conference on Wednesday, opined that the 2022 polls affirmed Kenya’s position as the most democratic State in the continent.

She said: “I arrived in Kenya days before the August 2022 General Election, and what I witnessed was nothing short of remarkable. Kenya held, what many analysts and commentators say, was the free-est, fairest and most credible election in Kenyan history.”

“The elections were observed by international and local organizations, and the results were upheld by the Kenyan Supreme Court, and power was transferred orderly and peacefully.”
