Chief Magistrate Stephen Mbungi Rules on Odinga Swearing - In Chief Magistrate Stephen Mbungi ruled that the oath taken by the Orange Democratic Movement leader after the disputed 2017 presidential election was not unlawful, and that he would have only been held responsible if he used his swearing-in to commit a crime. “From the content of the oath, Hon Raila Odinga swore himself to the office of the people’s president which does not amount to any crime.

GOVERNOR KIRAITU MURUNGI RESPONDS MIGUNA MIGUNA. "H. E The Rt.Hon. Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga has been my friend since 1970. We are age mates and political comrades who both went to Parliament at the same time, in the same party called FORD-K. The Prime Minister met H.E Madam Ida Odinga, in March 1971 when Ida Odinga was a student of Bachelor of Education at the University of Nairobi, majoring in Geography. They dated for over one year, later on, engaged and wedded. The late Fidel Odinga was born in 1973, almost three years after both the Hon.Raila Odinga and Mama Ida had met, dated, got engaged and married. It's a desperate fallacy and a stupid lie, for Miguna Miguna who was only seven(7) years old when The Prime Minister and Mama Ida met, and merely ten (10) years old when the late Fidel Castro Macarius Odhiambo Odinga was born, to LIE to us that at the age of 7 years old, he had known who fathered who, let alone the Odingas. Miguna met the Odinga...
