ODM leader Raila Odinga in Malindi, Kilifi County, on March 3, 2021. In a statement yesterday, top ODM officials told the government to use the funds set aside for the referendum to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Oparanya said the much hyped referendum, seen as the brainchild of President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, and which was key in cementing their legacy, should be deferred. One Kenya Alliance comprises ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Ford-Kenya’s Moses Wetang'ula, Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka and Kanu Chairman Gideon Moi. Oparanya’s sentiments yesterday signalled the ODM bigwigs could have abandoned the BBI and the push for a referendum.
