Rarieda MP Otiende Amolo criticized certain individuals for misleading Raila Odinga during his presidential campaign, leading to his loss. He, along with Siaya senator Dr. Oburu Oginga and governor James Orengo, discussed concerns about Raila's closest handlers. Otiende accused some of sabotaging Raila's support from outgoing president Uhuru Kenyatta. Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi and Lang'ata MP Phelix Oduor also commented on the political climate and Raila's future influence. Otiende emphasized the importance of devolution and the role of county governments, particularly in Siaya, as a source of hope for the people.
