Published on December 28, 2019, a headline in a local publication sparked a heated debate about corruption in Kenya's top leadership.
The article highlighted the questionable morals of leaders like Raila Odinga and William Ruto, with many questioning their ability to lecture others on corruption.
According to the article, Raila Odinga is a 'much bigger, nastier, ruthless and merciless thief' compared to Ruto, with a track record of land grabbing and theft.
One notable example cited was the Dominion Farms case, where Raila allegedly kicked out an investor and grabbed 16,000 acres of prime land.
Additionally, the article claimed that Raila used Indian figureheads to hide his loot, including a 234-acre plot next to the Kisumu Airport that he failed to develop.
The article also touched on the Odinga family's history of concealing their theft, with impeccable PR and media strategies that cover their wrongdoings.
While Ruto has his own share of controversies, the article argued that he is 'nowhere near the level of sleaze' that the Kenyatta, Odinga, and Moi families have demonstrated.
