Some politicians are paying goons to disrupt Raila Odinga’s rallies in Mt Kenya in an attempt to make him appear less popular in the region.
The ODM leader has been pulling massive crowds during his tour of Mt Kenya region to the surprise of many who have been propagating Railaphobia.
On Saturday November 6th, Raila’s rallies in Nyandarua county was the talk of the nation because of the sheer number of people who attended.

Former presidential candidate Abduba Dida has since exposed plans to disrupt Raila’s rallies in Mt Kenya without mentioning the culprits.
“Some people are paying goons to disrupt Hon Raila’s rallies. This is in attempt to make him appear less popular. Ironically, the narrative before and after hitting the ground is completely different. That man is really loved. He possibly has 40%+ in Mt Kenya,” Dida tweeted.

Dida’s warning comes barely a month after ODM Director of Communication Philip Etale warned of a plot to disrupt Raila’s rally in Runyenjes, Embu County before it actually happened.
On October 19th, section of youth chanting deputy president William Ruto’s name disrupted Raila’s rally nearly causing chaos.
The disruption happened just hours after Philip Etale uncovered a plan by Runyenjes MP Eric Muchangi Karemba to send goon to disrupt Raila’s rally.
In a post on social media, Etale warned that Karemba famously known as Wa Githomo had hired goons to disrupt Raila’s rally in Runyenjes, and surprisingly the warning turned out to be true.
Etale shared details of the plan to disrupt Raila’s rally in Runyenjes which was discussed in a WhatsApp group.
“Hon. Member of Parliament for Runyenjes Mr. KAREMBA aka wa Githomo, we know what you are planning today in Runyenjes. You will get what you are looking for. And this is not a threat,” Philip Etale tweeted hours before the disruption happened.
