Former Prime Minister, the late Raila Odinga self-proclaimed adopted son Oketch Salah has denied scheduling an interview on Obinna TV to respond to the late PM’s daughter and EALA Member of Parliament Winnie Odinga following her interview earlier this week at Citizen TV.
Salah has stated that he has not held any discussions with Oga Obinna regarding a possible interview to reiterarte to Winnie.
He has alledged that there are ongoing discussions with Mama Ida Odinga on the ongoing debate between him and Winnie as he downplayed having issues with Winnie, arguing that the EALA lawmaker is like his younger sister.
“I did not discuss any interview with Oga Obinna, and I can confirm that I will not be attending that interview. Today, I had a discussion with my sister from Migori, Her Excellency Ambassador Min Piny, Mama Ida Odinga. Winnie Odinga is like my younger sister, and I have no issues with her. May Baba’s soul rest in peace,” Salah stated.
This came hours after Salah took to his social media saying he would respond to Winnie’s allegations about him in a possible interview soon following his watch of the Citizen TV interview.
During the Interview with Yvonne, Winnie condemned Salah over claims that he was present at the time of her father’s death.
Speaking during an interview on Tuesday, the EALA MP said Salah’s sentiments raise serious concerns about his intentions.
“I have met Oketch Salah, but I’d like to believe nobody really knows him. A flat-out lie that you were there at the time of my father’s death and you were not and talking about things that did not occur is quite dangerous and makes me question his intentions,” she said.
Winnie went on to suggest that Salah’s statements were so troubling that they warranted either medical or criminal scrutiny.
“He should be rushed to either Mathari Ntaional Refferal Hospital or DCI with immediate effect,” she added.
