Raila hits out at US Ambassador Meg Whitman over 2022 election remark telling her to keep off Kenyan political affairs.
On Thursday, the former prime minister Raila Odinga criticized US Ambassador Meg Whitman for her remarks at the ongoing Devolution Conference on the elections in 2022.
While speaking at the Uasin Gishu Conference, the ODM leader referred to Whitman as a rogue ambassador and accused her of interfering in Kenyan politics.
He said that if the ambassador kept interfering with the nation’s affairs, they would strive to have her recalled.
Raila told US Ambassador that Kenya is not a US colony and should be left to handle its internal affairs.
“The rogue Ambassador must be told that Kenya is not a colony of the United States of America. She must respect Kenyans or keep her mouth shut,” he stated.
Raila also criticised Whitman for her statements on the protest adding that the truce between President William Ruto and Azimio emanated from the protests.

“If maandamano can led to a dialogue between Kimani Ichung’wah and Kalonzo Musyoka then everything is good with maandamano,” he stated.
Raila statements follows Whitman remarks that the 2022 General Election was the most credible in Kenyan history.
She stated that the move by the Supreme Court to uphold the election victory of Ruto was also a testament to the free and fair process.
“I arrived in Kenya days before the August 2022 General Election; 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,” Whitman expressed.
“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.”
