Pauline Njoroge Sets the Record Straight on Uhuru and Raila’s Dubai Meeting
Blogger and close ally of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Pauline Njoroge, has vehemently dismissed recent reports suggesting a secret meeting between Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga in Dubai.
The rumors, which have been circulating widely, were given further credibility by a published story in a local daily, claiming that the two political figures were negotiating a deal involving President William Ruto.
Pauline Njoroge responded promptly to these allegations, accusing government operatives of spreading falsehoods about the purported meeting. “In the last few weeks, UDA bloggers have been claiming that Uhuru is in Dubai, and I have seen there is a sponsored story on the same in one of the dailies today,” Njoroge stated.
To set the record straight, Njoroge revealed that former President Kenyatta is not in Dubai, but in fact, in the United States of America. “Uhuru is about 12,000 km away from Dubai and last time I checked, there was no place called Dubai in the U.S where the former president has been residing in the last few weeks,” she clarified.
Njoroge also dismissed allegations that Kenyatta had financially sponsored Raila Odinga’s supposed trip to Dubai. She emphasized that Odinga, as a seasoned politician and leader, does not require external funding for his travels.
“Raila traveling to Dubai has got nothing to do with Uhuru. It’s crazy for anyone to imagine that the former Prime Minister has no mind of his own to make his own independent decisions, or business of his own to attend to out there and he can only be traveling to meet Uhuru, or that he does not have money of his own to travel to Dubai and the trip must have been sponsored by someone else,” she asserted.
