Ruto outsmarted Uhuru Kenyatta & Raila Odinga in the August polls by retaining control of strategic institutions according to Oburu Odinga
Ruto outsmarted Uhuru Kenyatta & Raila Odinga in the August polls by retaining control of strategic institutions according to Oburu Odinga.
Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga on Thursday, March 2, revealed how President William Ruto duped former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
Raila’s older brother Oburu claimed that Ruto studied the electoral process and chose the “hibernative-pretense” strategy as his main strategy.
“We previously thought that ‘The System’ was all about the President but we later discovered that Ruto had taken hold of other portions of “The System” including security,” Oburu explained.
While Uhuru’s wing believed they had closed all electoral process flaws, Oburu asserted that they had neglected to close holes that were visible at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
“We chased Ruto out of the government but little did we know that he was well-rooted and got hold of several stakes within Uhuru’s government. Ruto used to attend all security planning meetings and he understood how things worked.
According to the Siaya Senator, failure to take care of Chebukati was catastrophic to Raila’s campaign which heavily relied on the role that the four new commissioners played.
“Chebukati then looked for professionals from Venezuela who were brought on board.
“Our plan was that, by law, Chebukati was not supposed to make decisions on his own. That is why we were comfortable when the four commissioners joined him,” Oburu claimed.
He did, however, also admit that despite having stated his concerns about the apparent IEBC loopholes not being closed, he did little about them because the campaign’s priorities had changed.
As the campaign gained traction, Azimio began to concentrate on exploring solutions and building strategies centered upon security systems.

“I personally suspected that Chebukati would fall out with the four commissioners. Unfortunately, we did not give it a lot of attention,” Oburu expressed.
Asked if former President Uhuru Kenyatta betrayed his brother Raila, Oburu explained that the former Head of State was the most genuine and honest member of Azimio’s campaign team.
Oburu explained that Uhuru was at the forefront of doing everything possible to ensure that Raila clinched the Presidency, but also lamented that a number of glaring gaps were left unattended.
“Uhuru did not betray Raila! He tried his best, but Chebukati is the one who outsmarted Uhuru because Uhuru had a lot of faith in him. Uhuru was utterly shocked when Chebukati declared Ruto as the President-elect,” Oburu asserted.
