David Ndii: Raila would have led Kenya better than Uhuru, he is always sober 

BY KEVIN KOECH

Economist David Ndii has made a u-turn and praised former prime minister Raila Odinga as hardworking team player who is always sober.

Ndii, a former National Super Alliance (NASA) strategist, said Raila could have led Kenya better than President Uhuru Kenyatta.

While responding to a tweep on Thursday, August 6, Africa’s second most influential economist online described the Orange Democratic Movement leader (ODM) as a progressive hard working politician.

“Raila is a progressive hard working politician and a great team player. Over and above that, he is sober,” he posted.

In his first tweet that led to the question, the tough-talking economist questioned Kenyans who voted for Uhuru saying they made a “bad” choice and should live with the consequences.

“Kenyans who voted Uhuru Kenyatta three times need to ask themselves if he was the president to lead Kenya to prosperity.

“Americans need to ask themselves if Donald Trump…Democracy includes freedom to make bad choices, and only the people can correct themselves through elections,” he stated.

Ndii broke ranks with Raila in 2018 after the former premier ceased hostilities with the head of state in what culminated to the famous handshake that restored peace and order in the country at a time when the Opposition was crying foul of bungled elections.

He criticised the AU infrastructure envoy saying he has jumped into a “sinking” ship by agreeing to work with the president.

He attributed Kenyans’ suffering to Raila’s decision to work with Uhuru noting Kenya was over borrowing and spending the money in projects with no value for money.

Ndii added the Jubilee government has made Kenyans poorer through a series of multi-billion scandals and poor economic strategies.

“Uhuru Kenyatta’s legacy is a scam. School laptops scam, SGR scam, Eurobond scam, Galana Kulalu scam, last mile connectivity scam, security cameras scam, dams scam, Container terminal scam, Huduma namba scam, Stawi loan app scam, early oil export scam, medical equipment scam, what have I missed?,” he said.
