On July 27, 2021, Orange Democratic Movement Party Leader Raila Odinga declared the start of a new strategy, days after Wiper and the Amani National Congress parties announced their exit from the National Super Alliance (NASA).
Speaking in Gatanga, Muranga County, where he was the Chief Guest at a Skiza thanksgiving ceremony, Odinga revealed that he would embark on countrywide tours alongside his handshake partner President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The ceremony was attended by a number of politicians from Central Kenya, including Governors and Members of Parliament drawn from the Jubilee Party and ODM.
“As you can see the face of Kenya is represented here… new things will now begin from here as I had told you earlier that we are going to have a new beginning,” Odinga declared.
Laikipia Governor Ndiritu Muriithi said the region owes the Odinga family a debt and time was ripe for it to be settled.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to Raila Odinga and his family for what they have done for this country …In finance, we talk about aged payables, the debt dates from 1963 to 2002,” said Muriithi.
