August 14, 2019, marked a significant low in the once-strong relationship between economist David Ndii and ODM leader Raila Odinga. Ndii took to Twitter to express his disappointment, sharing photos of Odinga meeting President Uhuru Kenyatta's sister, Kristina Pratt, at his Capitol Hill office.
Ndii's tweet was laced with sarcasm, saying the photos spoke volumes. He wrote, 'We have truly lost this one. What a let-down.'
His post elicited varied reactions from Kenyans on Twitter, with some defending Odinga's actions and others criticizing Ndii's personal attack.
As the fallout between the two continues, it's worth noting that their relationship began to fray last year after the infamous Handshake between Odinga and Kenyatta. The handshake was followed by a series of meetings between Odinga and Jubilee party politicians, including Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru.
