Langata Member of Parliament Felix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalang’o, has urged National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi to openly acknowledge his collaboration with President William Ruto.

Speaking to mourners in Gangu village, Asembo-Rarieda, Jalang’o emphasized that embracing the partnership between the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the government would lead to positive outcomes.

Jalang’o ridiculed recent political developments, particularly Wandayi’s claim of being in America on invitation by the US government.

Reflecting on a previous visit to President Ruto alongside other ODM-elected leaders, Jalang’o highlighted the public backlash they faced, being labeled as traitors.

He pointed out the irony of some of those critics later accompanying President Ruto to the United States.

“It’s amusing,” Jalang’o remarked, “that despite traveling all the way from Kenya to the US, efforts were made to evade photographic evidence, and when pictures eventually surfaced, they came with narratives lacking coherence. If indeed invited by the American government, why did it only happen at the time President Ruto was invited? You could have gone earlier or after?”

Jalang’o, along with Gideon Ochanda (Bondo), Walter Owino (Awendo), Mark Nyamita (Uriri), and Elisha Odhiambo (Gem), opted to engage with the Kenya Kwanza despite being elected on ODM tickets.
