She questioned his authenticity, stating that if Raila were truly fighting for the betterment of Kenya, the entire country would be rallying behind him.
"I'm all for the riots if its for change but because I hate how Raila Odinga doesn't know how to put his agendas, I can't be on the streets.
"The man is not fighting for us, he is fighting for his share on the table and just destroying the country," Huddah wrote.
Huddah expressed her disapproval of Raila's agenda, implying that she would not be participating in the protests.
"If Raila was really fighting for this country and the betterment of Kenya and not his retirement, the entire country would on the streets but we know him as a riot master, failed coup planner, killer and destroyer since we came outta the womb," she added.

His call for protests comes as a response to what he says is a lack of sincerity by the Kenya Kwanza government to keep its promise to lower the cost of living.
On the other hand, President William Ruto has made it clear that he will not tolerate actions that bring the country to a halt.
