Millie Odhiambo

Governor Mike Sonko’s time of his life and a lot of fun has continued to create different reactions, with latest coming from a video he shared recently on social media while in France.

The Nairobi County chief says he is bench-marking in France, but Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo thinks otherwise.

According to Odhiambo, Sonko is trying to get people to cushion him.

The MP says that Sonko has just agreed to have Nairobi County Assembly speaker Beatrice Elachi back just because he is facing difficulty.

Speaking during K24’s punchline show on Sunday night, the ODM legislator advised Sonko to hit the gym over his video while in France.

And asked about her penchant for political drama, specifically on trading insults with Sonko, the ODM MP said she is not a “Michelle Obama.”

“When you go low, I go lower…think what you want of me, I don’t care,” said the Suba North MP, terming Sonko’s recent theatrics abroad as a distraction to the ills bedeviling Nairobi County.

“He is young and has a lot of energy. But I think he has disappointed a lot of people. I think he is distracting attention from some of the things happening in Nairobi,” said Odhiambo when asked about what she thinks of Sonko.

Speaking on why Sonko has not appointed his deputy up to now, Odhiambo said that the county chief fears taking advice from other leaders and professionals.

Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has accused Deputy President William Ruto of holding political grudges over comments she perceives targets her community.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) MP made the comments on Sunday at the tail end of K24’s Punchline show when she was asked what she thinks of DP Ruto’s ability to lead the country.

“I would say Ruto needs to work on certain issues. He holds grudges…He needs to stop talking about “hawa watu wa kung’oa reli,” said Odhiambo.

The Suba North MP said that Dr Ruto does not endear himself to her because of the alleged ethnic bias.

“When you are in politics, there is no rear view mirror. In the last election, I did say unpleasant things against Uhuru but now I am saying nice things about him,” said Ms Odhiambo.

She used the opportunity to praise her ODM leader, Raila Odinga, saying he does not hold grudges and affirmed her support for his handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has revealed deputy president Dr William Ruto’s master plan to assert authority and his presence in Nairobi ahead of 2022 presidential race.

Speaking during Citizen TV’s JKLIVE show on Wednesday night, Millie said that Ruto is trying to use the forthcoming Kibra by-elections to stamp his authority on Nairobi.

She maintained that the Jubilee party’s entry into Kibra politics is not about ODM party leader Raila Odinga, citing that Ruto’s URP party is only trying to spread its roots in Nairobi.

She cited that Kalenjin community has been missing on the list of communities that have authority over Nairobi, and Ruto is now trying to bring it in ahead of 2022.

She says Luhyia, Luo, Kamba and Kikuyu communities have been believed to be popular communities in Nairobi over a long period of time.

According to her, the DP managed to take over Lang’ata constituency in he past 2017 polls with the win of Nixon Korir, and is now trying to spread his roots in Kibra before shifting to Roysambu and other places in Nairobi.

The vocal MP believes that McDonald Mariga is only being used by Ruto to help him stamp his authority on Nairobi to make things easier for him in 2022.
