stay and we know there are those working day and night in the hope that they
can spoil for Raila Odinga, their agenda is not to win the elections but to
spoil for Raila,” Said Kidero.

the solutions in order to ensure Nairobi emerges stronger and united to face
the challenges ahead just as I did while I was
