Kalonzo comments after Raila Odinga meets King Charles III at the State House banquet adding that the former prime minister is always on a standing list.
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has weighed on Raila Odinga of Azimio la Umoja’s presence at the State House dinner honoring King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Speaking at Bomas of Kenya on Wednesday, November 1, Kalonzo stated that Raila is on a standing list of leaders who are invited when important guests visit Kenya.
Kalonzo noted that Kenyans should see anything else beyond an invitation to the State House.
“At the level of former prime minister Raila Odinga, I can tell you some of us are on a standing list, that we would be invited in the event of an important State guest like his Majesty King Charles III, so it should not be seen beyond that,” said Kalonzo.
National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichungwah, who was with the former vice president, echoed his statements saying Raila was invited to the banquet just like Kalozno was invited during the African Climate Summit dinner.
“Just like his excellency was there during the climate change summit, the former Prime Minister was also there for a dinner, myself and his excellency were not there we had other engagements but we were all invited,” Ichung’wah stated.
Raila attended the State House event on Tuesday night together with National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi.
