President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday honored former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s close allies with presidential awards while ignoring those allied to Deputy President Dr Willima Ruto’s Tanga Tanga faction of Jubilee Party.
In a gazette notice dated 20th December, 2019, the president awarded ODM’s director of elections and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed with first class Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear (CBS), the country’s fourth highest honour.
Others who made it in the list were Homa Bay Woman Rep Gladys Wanga, Mbita MP Millie Odhiambo, Kitui South MP Rachel Nyamai of Jubilee, Kilifi Senatir Stewart Madzayo and Kieni MP Kanini Kega.
The head of state also awarded all the 14 members of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) task-force with the second class Elder of the Order of Burning Spear (EBS).
The BBI team was led by Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji and joint co-secretaries Adams Oloo and Martin Kimani.
Other members were Maison Leshoomo, Rose Museo, Archbishop Zacheus Okoth, Bishop Lawi Imathiu, Bishop Peter Njenga, Agnes Muthama, Morompi Ole Ronkei, Saeed Mwaguni, Major (Rtd.) John Seii, Florence Omosa, James Matundura and Paul Mwangi.
All Court of Appeal judges also received the EBS award. Acting Treasury CS Ukur Yatani and his Lands colleague Farida Karoney got the highest award of the day – the Elder of the Golden Heart which is normally awarded to among others the DP, CSs, KDF chief and visiting heads of state.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
