Opposition governors from Western and Nyanza counties yesterday denied claims they use county funds to bankroll Cord leader Raila Odinga’s rallies and foreign trips. Last week, majority leader Aden Duale said Cord governors give Raila a monthly stipend and sponsor his trips abroad and countrywide. He accused Raila of double standards in fighting corruption, saying he protects opposition governors accused of looting millions of shillings from the counties. It is not enough for Jubilee to say Raila is not fighting corruption in Cord counties. Awiti said the allegations against Cord governors are cheap propaganda to divert public attention from the billions of shillings lost by the state.
