Raila reveals proposal he wants tabled in parliament to tame Ruto's influence

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has revealed what he instructed an MP from Nyanza on how to tame DP William Ruto's influence to the electorate through church donations.

While speaking during the burial of Dorka Owino, mother to Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o, Raila faulted churches for allowing themselves to be used as places of 'cleaning dirty money '.

“I told John Mbadi (Minority Leader in National Assembly) to bring a proposal that if passed in Parliament, will see politicians not donate more than Sh100,000 in harambees and if they do, then will be taken in for questioning”. 

He added: “We are all children of God not only ‘you’ and who tells you God wants money in heaven.”

Ruto's huge donations in church has been a subject of debate but according to him, He has more to thank God for owing to his Christian and humbled background.

Raila reiterated that they want to see a clean country with no corruption.

ODM leader Raila said the runaway rate of corruption within the country had reached alarming levels.

Raila said Kenya is currently playing at the ‘super league’ of corruption, competing with the top countries leading in the vice. 

"We want to remove Kenya from super league of corruption. We also want to see that the lords of corruption arrested and charged,” said the ODM leader.
