Khalwale’s Message to Ailing Raila Shocks Kenyans

Former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale’s message to Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga has left netizens with many questions.

Khalwale on Wednesday July 8, 2020 through his official twitter handle sent a message of good will to the former Prime Minister.

Khalwale noted that when the African Union’s chapter of friends is written, he will not be left out.

The 2022 Kakamega gubernatorial aspirant noted that Raila’s friendship chapter will record the sacrifices he made for him in Zanzibar, during the Okoa Kenya initiative, during the 2017 campaigns and the six hours of teargas, gunshots, blood and death during the time Raila was returning to Kenya from the USA.

Khalwale went ahead to pray for Raila’s quick recovery, telling him to get well soon.

The Orange party leader is recuperating in Dubai after undergoing a minor surgery.

“When it is written, the chapter on ua friends will record the sacrifices I met for u in Zanzibar, Okoa Kenya Initiative, 2017 campaigns & the 6 hours of teargas/gunshots/tears/blood/death, on ua arrival from the USA. U are in my thoughts & prayers. @RailaOdinga, do get well soon,” reads Khalwale’s Twitter post.

However, Khalwale’s words met netizens with shock, leaving them wondering why he has suddenly changed from attacking Raila, to sending him messages of goodwill.

Khalwale has been Raila’s big critic since he decamped from NASA coalition to join Deputy President William Ruto’s team.

Some netizens have however, told Khalwale to mean his words, since there are no permanent enemies in politics.

Here are some of the reactions.
