Former ICT CS Joe Mucheru opens on his support for Raila Odinga
Joe Mucheru has no regret over his support for Raila Odinga in the August 2022 general elections
Joe Mucheru has no regret over his support for Raila Odinga in the August 2022 general elections.
Joe Mucheru, a former ICT Cabinet Secretary, has stated that he has no regrets about endorsing Raila Odinga for president in the elections on August 9.
Mucheru claimed that his backing was a sign of loyalty to his boss during a weekend segment on Citizen Television.
“No, I would not regret it at all. At a personal level, I was appointed to this government by President Uhuru Kenyatta and it would be the highest point of betrayal if I actually don’t support him,” he said.
He claimed that as a Kenyan citizen, a person, and a Minister, he had a say on the direction the nation was taking.
Mucheru claimed that rather than doing so out of desire, he trusted Uhuru’s judgment in supporting Raila.
“The things we did, the plans we had and all the things that he wanted were actually good for the country and as the Minister for information, I knew that,” he said.

On Raila losing the election, he said:
“If people decide that’s not what they want then you move with what people say. So I have no regrets about my stand and my position,” he said.
He said he owes a lot to President Kenyatta because he loves this country and did a lot for this country.
Mucheru said that he could tell from the many things they were doing, it was because he wanted things to change for the better.
“So I don’t have any regrets as far as that is concerned, I am very okay with the position I took. I have not changed my position,” he said.
He added that now we are not in an election or politicking season but a season to work.
“We have a country that we need to see develop, that we need to grow and so we wish the government that Kenyans have chosen all the best,” he concluded.
