Opposition leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday evening traveled to the United States.
The National Super Alliance (NASA) leader left the country Nairobi at around 4pm Kenyan time and is expected to land in Washington, DC where he will meet different leaders and address a public forum at the Centre for Security and International Studies (CSIS).
The former Prime Minister is also set to hold a series of meetings with House and Senate Congressional Committee leaders on Wednesday.
After delivering a speech at the CSIS on Thursday, Raila will hold talks with officials of civil society groups. His Spokesman, Dennis Onyango said he will deliver a speech on “Overcoming Kenya’s Political Crisis and Advancing Democracy, Rule of Law and Stability.”
“Raila is scheduled to return to Nairobi over the weekend,” Onyango said.
He will also explain to different US officials on why he pulled out of October 26th repeat presidential race, his next steps and his opinion on the future of democracy in Kenya.
Why does he have to explain…
Why does he have to explain anything to different US officials? Kenya is not a US colony but a sovereign state. His accountability belongs to the people of Kenya whose security and properties he continues to attack using violence and lawlessness.
The United States Government…
The United States Government does not entertain radicals. As a leader to the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Raila is a radical. Radical like the ones in Somalia, Afghanistan, etc. are taken care of using drones. Raila should be detained by the US government until he denounces NRM. My view.
And his cult will descend …
And his cult will descend Swahili village to be blessed by their cult master. Just wait for that photo op???. Wafuasi will drive from Minesotta, New Jersey, NC , Texas, to come worship Moses of Cannan Express.
I am surprised that he did…
I am surprised that he did not go to Russia,or Germany.I also wonder while in the USA,he might swing east 90 miles from Florida,and visit his comrade the Castro family.
Could it be that BIG BROTHER carries abig stick,and he would rather be on their right side least the hammer is let drop on his dome…
Or you could swing to DMV…
Or you could swing to DMV yes that is correct – I’m sure Swahili Village this weekend will be NRM night featuring COMRADE Raila , General Miguna and Orengo 🙂 I’m sure Cognac and cigars will be a aplenty 🙂
This is just aJOYRIDE. He…
This is just aJOYRIDE. He will go back to the lake region without anything concrete. A phone call,teleconference would have sufficed. He does not have to just on the place each time he wants to speak to wazungu.Cann’t he invite them to his “villa”? Oh oh Isee they wont come..ha.
What is this ‘thing’ looking…
What is this ‘thing’ looking for in the US? Trump has made it clear on several occasions on his governments America First Policy. His govt isn’t ready to listen to every tom, dick and ‘it’ of the world on how undemocratic it is to loose an election twice in 3 months!!! Besides Trump govt has his own issues they’re dealing with right now.
This jaluo is going to beg other jalous for handouts like he did in britain. But best believe this ‘thing’ will get a photo op with a low level us govt employee for the kenyan dailies ndio disciples waone kimutu kinafanya kazi.
The US dont have time for his bullcrap. He is either looking for an arms dealer to buy weapons on credit or he’s just looking for money to live off until next election. The august election made him broke and can’t support his and mama fidels lifestyles unless he starts selling off property.
The ‘thing’ must have talked to a professional beggar who adviced him o the foolproof way of begging is to beg at the ‘source’ for example outside a bank or outside church cos pple tend to be more generous there and figured “nitae-endeko merica kuomba usaidisi”

Why can’t people mind their business. The hateful utterences will take you nowhere. RESIST.
Where have you been living ?…
Where have you been living ? In a hole? Guest 1 here has been practising witchcraft for some of us to die and yet you said nothing and now it affects you that we do not like your cult leader. Anyone ready to incite people to shed blood, anyone ready to sell their country to the highest bidder for their own selfish interest, anyone willing and trying so hard to see mothers and children suffer when he calls for boycott to bring down a country economically to its knees, then that person is not human and whatever comes in his way insults , hate etc, asked for it .
@ formerlyguest2 you are…
@ formerlyguest2 you are right on.That witch called Guest1 aka MBINGU alias CAPS has already ‘stricken’ me with her witchcraft. And she calls herself a christian and always ends her craft with ‘Amen’ Ndakwira, haiya.
anga nianyuaga fangi kana…
anga nianyuaga fangi kana Meth…, hence the multiple personalities
The terrorist leader is…
The terrorist leader is broke after paying for the uniform supplies from terrorist Joseph Kony of Uganda’s lord resistance army. Can he afford to pay for a hotel room in Washington, DC? There is no Kibra in Washington. DC. Wait, I forgot his mistress Akombe is here. Is he bringing Orengo with him though because we don’t want them fighting.
I doubt he wants to spend $$…
I doubt he wants to spend $$ at the Mayflower on 18th???, when he was PM yes, now eh … I hear he has a townhouse in Odenton MD ????
Raila Omolo Odinga is in his…
Raila Omolo Odinga is in his heyday. He thinks time is reap for him to implement his long term dream of turning Kenya into a Socialist Country. Once a Communist always a Communist. Raila was brought up as a Communist and has never been de-programmed. He is coming to Washington as a cover. His heart is in Havana, Caracas and Moscow. Those like me who knows where to look sees the signs of Raila’s Socialist orientation everyday. No TRUE Capitalist can call for a country to be brought down through boycotts and economic sabotage, only Communist and Socialist do that.
Usa has their own problems…
Usa has their own problems kenyan should learn how to solve their own problems no sympathy Raila will get
Lobbying for legitimacy and…
Lobbying for legitimacy and bush democracy.
Ask him to stop committing crimes by messaging with Kenyans” livelihoods and security by supporting the government in nation in building not undoing the achievements so far.
USA do not like people…
USA do not like people bringing problems to them eti serikali saidia. Fake Joshua need to look at how they treated Puerto Rico & New Orleans
He should be arrested for…
He should be arrested for being a lifetime member of the Al Shabaab. He is a threat to the national security of Kenya. He ought to be stopped at the airport for a thorough inspection.
wow.. see Mwakilishi just…
wow.. see Mwakilishi just turned into a two tribe thing..so sad. But anyways most comments here shows high level of ignorance and hatred. If he was a terrorist US couldn’t allow him set foot. So who is a fool here?
Rebel leader. What is he…
Rebel leader. What is he doing here in the US. Go back to your lou Land and continue your boycotts . Upuus useless energy for human life. peleke ujing Nyanza and kisumu..
