Ruth Odinga, the sister of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, has accused individuals around her brother of exploiting his compassionate nature to falsely claim his endorsement and further their own political agendas. She highlighted how Raila's continental work often left him susceptible to such manipulation.

• Ruth Odinga stated that "some people around Raila took advantage of his caring heart" to mislead Kenyans.
• The accusations come amid a looming succession battle for leadership of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the Luo community after Raila's passing.
• Ruth criticized ODM-allied leaders promoting William Ruto for 2027, emphasizing that the "broad-based partnership was only meant to steady the ship until 2027."
