Pressure on Raila Odinga to drop Martha Karua

When US President Barack Obama was addressing Kenyans at Kasarani last week, he clearly indicated that there are people in opposition who he’d not like to be associated with.

During his speech, he stated that someone in opposition did not want America to interfere with the government but she is now in the front line requesting Obama not to work with the government.

Obama concluded that he is ready to work with the current government because it was legally elected.

Following such statements, opposition leader Raila Odinga has been forced to go back to the drawing board in order to consolidate his support and even gain more. One of the issues his key advisors are telling him is to drop Martha Karua from his lineup.

According to one of the advisors, many CORD supporters see Karua as a joy rider, someone who does not have political good will in her backyard.

Though she has a clean record, the advisor thinks that she is the one Obama was referring to during his speech; he is therefore seen as a liability to CORD.

Some of the ODM supporters think that Martha Karua is the main reason why Raila Odinga did not become the president in 2007; she was the key member of PNU party under the leadership of Mwai Kibaki.
