Raila can still be President if God wants, Orengo
Raila can still be President despite losing five times if it’s God’s plan according to Siaya governor James Orengo.
Siaya governor James Orengo explained why he’s personally hopeful about Raila Odinga’s presidency.
Orengo claimed that despite Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya’s decades-long unsuccessful efforts to win the coveted seat, God will still make it happen (if He wills).
Orengo made the remarks in Ramba and Mahaya in the Rarieda constituency as he received relief food from the national government.
The governor appealed to Raila’s supporters to maintain their allegiance and back the stumbling opposition by imploring them to have faith and optimism.
“I can tell you that if it is God’s will that Raila is to become the president of the Republic of Kenya, then that will cannot be taken away. Let us keep the faith,” Orengo urged.
Further, he seemingly warned the coalition’s members against decamping to Kenya Kwanza government as we have recently witnessed.
“I want you to remain hopeful because a people without hope cannot get anywhere. A person who abandons his mother’s leaking hut for a neighbour’s glittering house is a stupid fellow,” Orengo added.
Speaking to the same audience, Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo opined that leaders should remain loyal to the political outfits that sponsored them to Parliament.
“The people elected you in the party where you were because they wanted you in that party. If anything, there were UDA aspirants even in Rarieda whom the electorate could have voted for but they didn’t,” he said.
“We will work with the government where necessary, cooperate but not go into submission… We will request humbly and when it comes, we take it with thanks.”
The sentiments were in an apparent reference to some of the leaders from the county who have since abandoned the opposition and joined the government.
The leaders include MDG party leader and Ugenya MP David Ochieng and former Rarieda MP Nicholas Gumbo.
