Raila Odinga’s Explosive Citizen TV Interview: Political Revelations and Predictions for 2020

 Citizen TV cemented its reputation as Kenya’s leading platform for political interviews, delivering conversations that often set the national agenda. Last night was no exception, as Raila Odinga, one of the architects of the "handshake," sat down for a candid interview at his farm in Bondo. The veteran politician did not hold back, delivering a series of revelations that provided fresh insights into Kenya's political landscape.

Odinga, known for his calculated approach to interviews, deviated from his usual reserved style. For the first time, he openly criticized his former NASA co-principals for their reluctance to participate in his controversial 2018 swearing-in. According to Odinga, their fear signaled the end of their political relevance, as Kenyan voters notoriously disdain cowardice.

One of the most striking moments came when Odinga called for Deputy President William Ruto to step aside for corruption investigations. He raised pointed questions about the source of the funds that Ruto’s team allegedly distributed to churches and communities across the country. The timing of this statement, coupled with Odinga’s seasoned political instincts, suggests it could signal the start of significant political maneuvers.

The Road Ahead for 2020

Odinga’s blunt statements may herald a larger script, meticulously orchestrated to reshape Kenya's political future. History shows that government insiders excel at gradually dismantling powerful figures, and unless divine intervention occurs, such plans often succeed. As Odinga hinted, the public’s growing economic frustrations might amplify calls for accountability, including demands for Ruto's resignation.

Observers are also reminded of the 2017 Supreme Court decision that annulled President Kenyatta’s victory—a rare “overturn” in global political history. Odinga believes 2020 will deliver an even more seismic political event, reshaping Kenya’s landscape and leaving many stunned.

Navigating Harsh Economic Times

The interview also highlighted the harsh economic realities facing Kenyans. Odinga emphasized that 2020 would test individuals' resilience as businesses continue to shrink and layoffs increase. However, history has shown that even in economic crises, opportunities arise for those who adapt.

To thrive, Kenyans are encouraged to study economic downturns and position themselves strategically. Odinga advocates for preparation and innovation, urging people to explore new ventures and shift their thinking to capitalize on available opportunities.

Final Thoughts

Raila Odinga’s revelations, coupled with his prophetic outlook, suggest 2020 will be a defining year for Kenya. Politically and economically, the nation stands on the brink of transformation, with the actions of its leaders and citizens shaping what lies ahead. Whether through accountability, resilience, or divine intervention, the year promises to be unforgettable.
