Good to see you Ferdinand. God bless my president Raila Amolo Odinga. Baba we are with you. Do not relent. Take back our victory.

Raila in this interview has shown Kenyans how his personal issues are more important and bigger than kenya . Opening the server is more important than high cost of living

[ChetOnlineMedia]

Live Long Baba. Kenya loves you. You will forever be a Hero to us

[rongotv]

Judging on how he answered the cost of living part Its evident he is asking for a piece of the pie taking advantage of poor kenyans' frustrations...and he knows the cost of living isn't unique to Kenya hence mentioned last

[Elikate]

I like this man, how would Kenya be without him?

[curtismuasya]

Baba... GOD - Please 25 years more for this man. Amen.

[wakenyaskytv]

At 80 years old and Raila is still going strong

[evemuhia]

I love Raila always uses his constitutional rights to fight for justice ❤❤May God grant you a very loooong life. If only Tom Mboya became the president of Kenya - we would be on a different trajectory now 😭

[drkomina]

Democracy doesn't mean Chaos honarable Raila.

[nyaorakevintv]

We are not stopping until the kenyan voice is respected and not is our country we must fight for it

[bettygachie]

People should be allowed to demonstrate peacefully whether you agree with their reason to demonstrate or not. Raila is a Kenyan hero.

[maryjay]

Baba you always fight for the voiceless and we appreciate alot, we are behind you until they fullfil what they promised.

[lawrencerossiter]

Raila Odinga is absolutely correct in his stance. Keep up the good work Baba!

[dancmuraya]

Raila drives self interests before the interests of the common mwananchi. Thats why his election petition points come first and the cost of living point comes last. It shows where the focus is. Anyways endeleeni kurusha mawe.
