Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga consoles Zainab Haji, widow of the late Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji, at Riverside home in Nairobi yesterday. [Boniface Okendo, Standard]ODM leader Raila Odinga has faulted plan to criminalise the ‘hustler’ slogan associated with Deputy President William Ruto and his allies. Raila, in a statement to newsrooms yesterday, said he had learnt of proposals by Parliament's National Security Committee that seek to criminalise Ruto's 'hustlers versus dynasties' campaign slogan. The proposed punishment are severe fines, jail time and even removal from office for any leader who propagates the slogan. But Ruto allies Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu) and Cecily Mbarire argue that the hustler slogan has been taken out of context.
