Raila Amolo Odinga is a Kenyan politician who served as the Prime Minister of Kenya from 2008 to 2013. He has been the Leader of Opposition in Kenya since 2013. He was the Member of Parliament for Langata from 1992 to 2013.Picture for illustrative purpose.
It's through his popular handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta that saw Kenya arrive at the Building Bridges Intiative Report. It's that handshake that saw the Deputy President William Ruto move out of the Government and started diminishing his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta. And he came up with the 'Hustlers versus Dynasties' campaign slogan, which was set to be criminalized in Parliament before Raila Odinga intervened and seeks to stop such from happening.
That bold act has proved Raila Odinga to be a true statesman and a human rights defender. Through his facebook page this afternoon, Raila has urged the Mps to stop from criminalizing the Ruto's campaign slogan 'Hustler vs Dynasty'. Attached please find his post Picture for illustrative purpose

Kenyans should be mentally strong to be able stay away from embracing such slogans. RAO continue with crusade, we ha come a long way and any draconian and regressive security laws must not be allowed to see the light of the day. Kenya is politically and socially evolving, we at a stage America was in 200 years ago. We are moving towards maturity. The bad laws legislatures usually pass in parliament at times are subjective and less futuristic.
