On Sunday, ODM Party leader Raila Odinga visited Kibra to campaign for Bernard Okoth, but he didn't miss the opportunity to take a jab at Jubilee's McDonald Mariga.
Published on October 28, 2019, Raila began his riddle by criticizing Mariga's manifesto for Kibra residents, saying it was nothing but empty promises.
“Sasa wale ambao wanakuja hapa wanakimbia na ile kitu inaitwa manifesto, hio yote ni taka taka. Hio ni kama tu wasiwasi ya nywele. Jamaa moja alitufundisha kuwa nywele ikona majina tofauti tofauti kulingana na pahali iko,” Raila said.
He continued, “Ikiwa kwa kichwa inaitwa nywele, ikiwa juu ya macho inaitwa nyuzi, ikifika kwa macho inaitwa kope, ikiteremeka kwa kifua inaitwa malaika. Alafu ikifika ikiingia hapa kwa makwapa na kule chini… niliambiwa lakini nilisahau…”
The riddle left Kibra ODM supporters in stitches, demanding Odinga to complete the riddle that was clearly directed at Mariga.
During the campaign tour, Raila also decried land grabbing and high housing costs for area residents, saying they have to contend with housing rates that increase every month, driven by cartels living outside Kibra.
