Saturday October 2, 2021 -Ex-nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura has come out in public to confess how he has wrongly been demonizing ODM Party leader Raila Odinga for political reasons.
Confessing that Mt. Kenya Region as whole has had bad feelings against Odinga, Mwaura noted that it was all lies meant to weaken Odinga’s political strength around the country and especially Mt. Kenya.
He added that no one can claim that Odinga, in one way or another, is that bad. He termed the bad blood as a deliberately planted perception as a result of bad politics in this country.
According to Mwaura, he was among the politicians in Jubilee Party who have been working hard to paint Raila as a political bogeyman in Mt Kenya.

He was revealing this on KTN Tv hosted by Akisa Wandera in which the 2017 politics were intensely discussed.
In a detailed account of what happened in 2017, Mwaura disclosed that speaking bad of Odinga in 2017 was purposely meant to make his Ruiru people to elect him as their MP but still they didn’t.
“Unfortunately our politics are not issue based and our political parties are transient,” he remarked.
The ex-legislator also regretted that the re-run to the 2017 polls was even worse as every Jubilee member made sure they painted Odinga as a dangerous man who don’t want peace in the country and hates other communities.

During that time, they lined up a series of 400 rallies all meant to tear apart the character of Odinga and make his reputation a subject of discussion among the electorates.
But according to Mwaura, the exercise to scorn the former prime minister was not going well with his conscience to appoint he had to share this with MP Jamleck Kamau.
