Raila touches on the weighty matter

National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday dismissed reports linking him to alleged Cabinet reshuffle by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Speaking to journalists at Orange House Mr Odinga also denied playing any role in such an activity.

State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena is also on record denying any planned cabinet reshuffle.

This comes at a time Sports Cabinet secretary Rashid Echesa has accused Mr Odinga of orchestrating a ploy to remove him from the Cabinet.

The purported cabinet reshuffle was attributed to the much-publicised handshake between Mr Kenyatta and the Opposition on March 9th.

Speaking at the same press conference, the former Prime Minister also refuted reports of a joint tour with President Kenyatta to Nyanza this week.

He described the reports on the tour as inaccurate.

" urges the media to avoid sensationalizing the handshake between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta on the 9th of March 2018 and get facts before going to the press. Says only PSCU & ODM Comms can inform of planned meetings/joint tours between & the President," ODM party tweeted.
