Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga says President Ruto pushed for his dismissal as the African Union (AU) High Representative for Infrastructure Development in Africa.
Insisting that he left the role voluntarily, Odinga claimed Ruto petitioned the AU to terminate his contract when he attended the 36th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the AU Assembly in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on February 17th.
“I did not lose it because I had already indicated to AU Chairperson Moussa Faki that I would exit because I had done my best but there was a lot of demand for my time back home,” Odinga told KTN News in an interview.
“I was not fired by anyone, there was a lot of work there. There was a lot of work in Kenya and outside. It was a lot for me to travel around the countries all the time,” he added.
Odinga said Faki briefed Ruto on his earlier request to leave the agency, adding that the AU would have declined the president’s call to have him fired if he wanted to continue with the role.
“It is not him who had sacked me,” Odinga added.
The Kenyan opposition leader was appointed to the position in October 2018 as part of the African Union’s drive to expedite the integration of the continent through infrastructure, in order to promote economic growth and sustainable development.

He said he resigned before William Ruto’s letter arrived at the AU.

William Ruto wants to create an impression he is in control and he is behind everything that happens to ALL Kenyans in Kenya. At ALL times.
He hears someone is resigning, he acts like he made fired them.
It’s all an act.
Those blaming Ruto for such…
Those blaming Ruto for such heavy-handedness do not understand Politics 101. To stay in power, you either persuade your main opponents to willingly join you. If that fails, you bribe them, if that also fails, you demonize them and even if that fails also, you arrest and if no expected results, you assassinate them.
If someone resigns because…
If someone resigns because of their own personal reasons how is that connected to Ruto?
People’s lives do not revolve around William Ruto.
Ruto has no control over Kenyans that’s why he’s all over the place.
A tiger doesn’t proclaim his tigritude, he pouches.
Which personal reasons? You…
Which personal reasons? You think Raila would voluntarily resign from that seat?
Common sense tells you that you can’t be an AU or any other envoy yet you are antagonizing your own country.
In his firing letter there’s no reference of Railas acceptance of his request to step down. If at all he had requested to resign, and especially with that letter we saw that was written after the fact, Faki should have acknowledged or at least make reference of it. No more River Rd exhibits. The Baba got fired.
Raila has resigned before. …
Raila has resigned before.
This would not be the first time or his first job to resign.
Read the firing letter…
Read the firing letter. There’s no place that it acknowledges Railas personal request to resign. As the etiquette commands, Faki in his final letter must have made reference to Railas request of the same if at all he had made any. And there was none. That letter Raila is circulating was made after the fact just to cover face/shame. Falsified statements just in the same manner as he is doing on his election loss.

Shame on you fool! Your tribe is the one crying of hunger the loudest! You will be reduced to a 4th class citizen by the time Ruto is done with tour rich tribesmen. Ruto will make sure that it will take another 1000 years for a Kikuyu to be president in Kenya. You bootlicker!
