National Assembly Majority Whip Silvanus Osoro says Raila's networks run deeper than those of President William Ruto
National Assembly Majority Whip Silvanus Osoro says Raila’s networks run deeper than those of President William Ruto.
South Mugirango Member of Parliament Silvanus Osoro heaps praises on ODM Leader Raila Odinga, saying he is a good man with extensive networks across Africa and beyond.
Raila’s networks are more extensive than President William Ruto’s, according to Osoro, who called Raila the best candidate to lead the African Union Commission in an interview with a local online publication.
“Raila is not a bad person by the way. He has very deep networks than even President Ruto, and I want to assure you that he will get the AUC seat. And President Ruto is doing everything possible to make sure that he gets that seat,” Osoro said.
Osoro who is also a close ally of President Ruto however, faulted Raila for what he termed as failure to mentor a successor.
He said that if the former Prime Minister exits the national politics, he will leave behind a void that will be difficult to fill.

“You see the problem with Raila is that everyone around him does not grow to become greater in politics. Only those he mentored and they ditched him go ahead to make it in politics. If you stick around him, you don’t progress politically because everything is about him,” he argued, adding that despite his deep networks and national politics craftsmanship, Raila was unlucky not to become president of Kenya.
Osoro put Raila in the league of the late President Mwai Kibaki, saying he has played a key role in shaping the country’s political course.
President Ruto’s administration has thrown its weight behind Raila’s bid for the AU seat, with the most recent being a trip to Uganda where Ruto and Raila met President Yoweri Museveni to ask for his support.
