Lawyer Miguna Miguna has defended businessman Oketch Salah, saying recent public criticism targeting him is unwarranted and ignores the context of his long association with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. “Out of 50 million Kenyans, Raila freely chose Oketch Salah to be his aide, confidant and friend,” he stated. According to Miguna, Salah also accompanied Raila on several trips abroad, including during treatment in the final months of his life. “Oketch Salah accompanied Raila to numerous trips abroad,” he said, noting that other close associates such as Onyango Ketta also travelled with him during medical visits. “These and other questions expose the hypocrisy and double standards by many Kenyans who have attacked Oketch Salah for no justified reasons,” he said.
