How Ruto approached me with plum job offer – Nairobi News

Raila Junior, the last born son of ODM leader Raila Odinga, has spilled beans of his abortive’handshake’ deal with deputy president William Ruto.

This comes just hours after Dr Ruto claimed that the opposition leader had approached him four times before the March 2018 handshake deal with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Raila Junior on Wednesday morning promised on Twitter to issue a clarification on Dr Ruto’s comments made in an interview on Citizen TV.

In subsequent tweets,Junior  accused Dr Ruto of trying to bribe him and his sister Winnie with plum jobs in government.

According to Junior, Ruto sent a senior ambassador to them with enticing government positions. The young Odingas told the ambassador to speak to their father.

“The truth is that in January 2018 he tried to entice @winnie_odinga and I with high level government positions, a kind of divide n rule tactic using a very senior Ambasador to put pressure but obviously we told him to F off and talk to the source. #WakiropokaTunatoboa,” Junior tweeted.

Dr Ruto’s communication director Emmanuel Talam advised Junior not to learn from his father.

“Consider learning from someone else not the ODM leader. His never works. Won’t work for you.”
