NASA leader Raila Odinga threatened to escalate corruption allegations against President Uhuru Kenyatta to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) if evidence is presented to him, following a 2019 political showdown.
Odinga made the pledge during a speech at the Sixth Annual Devolution Conference at Kirinyaga University, where he urged individuals with evidence linking Kenyatta to graft to share it with him. 'If you are afraid of taking evidence against Uhuru to the DCI, just bring it to me and I will personally drag the President to the DCI to face detectives,' he stated.
The remarks came after Kenyatta publicly invited critics to report him to the DCI if they possessed corruption evidence, rather than making accusations at public events. This exchange highlighted growing tensions in Kenya's political landscape over allegations of graft at the highest levels.
